When to start cut outs in S.Michigan

« on: March 13, 2010, 10:53:43 AM »

I have a couple cut outs lined up and wondered if it was to early to do them, bees have been flying around on warm days but I'm sure old man winter isn't through with us yet.

The first day it is above 70 and sunny for most of the day.

I like doing cut-outs, but I love catching swarms!
