It was 73 degrees on Saturday November 5 (also deer hunting opener) and 68 degrees today!
The bees are covered in orange pollen from my marigolds.
When I pulled out my bottom board, I thought I saw some tiny red guys (Varroa destructor mites) so I took them to work to examine under a microscope:
I tried to take a photo through the microscope eyepiece but it wouldn't work, so I video'ed it:
These are a couple of mites on the edge of the cover slip on the microscope stand at work:
