I have had Galanthus flowering for 2 weeks now and bees are visiting them. Nighttime temperatures are hovering in the mid 20 degree F level (-6.6C) and they are flying so slow and look so cold! I have a wonderful Cyclamin flowering too with brilliant dark pink blossoms, I believe it is C. coum (tag has been obliterated!). My hope of things to come!

This was around the Mediterranean where the Galanthus were flowering on the slopes and at higher altitudes, but the bees may have been active in the valleys and along the coast below for some weeks/months before.
