I saw my first bee of the year (honeybee) on Friday (20 Feb) - it was trying to share my OJ. Was still quite dozy

A plot neighbour has several hives so I've been seeing honey bees for the last week or so.
I also saw a bumblebee elsewhere earlier this week.
Flighty's plot,  http://flightplot.wordpress.com,  is my blog.

Whereas I went to cleanout my bird boxes and found the recycled one one (made from old car seat foam chips), was harbouring about a dozen overwintering bees. 
is it in the sale?
