I was wearing my long johns, a turtleneck, and another sweater underneath my sweat pants and sweat shirt. I had one two knit caps, and a scarf around my neck. The good news is that because it was so cold, the bees were all keeping warm in their adopted hives, so we didn't have to worry about any of them flying through the window-sized holes in my walls.
I heated up a big bowl of chili for my lunch just so I could hold the hot bowl in my hands. Even through the mittens, the warmth was appreciated.
Was it worth it, though? You bet!
