The Cross County Center in Yonkers announced Tuesday they are installing two new beehives. 

They told News 12 the installation is a part of a goal to increase the bee population.

Each colony will start with 10,000 bees and grow to 50,000 by the peak of the season.

A naming contest is now underway to name the queen bees. To get involved, check out the County Center's Instagram page <a href="https://www.instagram.com/crosscountycenter/?hl=en">here</a>.

HVFORECAST

For you today. Matt Hammers tell us, but we'll see some festive flakes fly. Yeah. And there could be at any point in the day today. Really Tara and tomorrow, but nothing that's really gonna slow people down or add up. Exactly as we take a look outside right now, still dark and early until we get closer to seven o'clock this morning. And it's going to be overall an ok day. You know, there will be a few flurries around at times. Otherwise it's certainly chilly. The morning temperatures are actually, you'd expect for this time of day, this time of the year, the mid thirties for the most part, 37 in Yonkers, right around 30 in Yorktown Heights. It's a little bit colder just below 30 in New City in 27 in Middletown right now. Live Doppler radar at the moment. Quiet overhead, top left of the screen. Those are some snow showers and flurries. Now, a lot of that activity stays to our west and northwest today, but a few of these flurries will survive the trip into the Hudson, especially late morning into the early part of the afternoon. So just don't be surprised to see a little bit of that. But yeah, it's not going to add up to really anything on the ground at all. As we go throughout midday, temperatures will be above freezing, mostly cloudy skies. Again, a few spotty flurries at times as we go throughout the afternoon. More of the same, it's chilly, a light spotty snow shower at times. Temperatures in the upper thirties as that is happening and even visibility won't be reduced too much, partly cloudy skies this evening. And overnight tonight, it will be colder tonight and early tomorrow morning than it is outside right now with morning temperatures all throughout the Hudson Valley in the twenties. But tomorrow, especially after eight or nine o'clock in the morning and through the early part of the afternoon, we actually have an even better chance to see a light passing snow shower. So highs today, right around 40 it's chilly, bundled up through the morning and into the afternoon. A couple of flurries around nothing significant, partly cloudy cold later on tonight with lows in the twenties into Thursday morning, another day tomorrow where it's chilly and we can have a couple of scattered flurries, sun and clouds on Friday, upper forties, mid FF on Saturday. That is still the pick of the week. Sunday. We are looking at some warm weather but it turns wet and windy, especially for Sunday evening and Sunday night before dry weather returns for really all of next week. Sun and clouds breezy and cool on Monday turning chillier through the rest of next week.
