Bummer.
It's 50 degrees today so I walked down to check my hives. 2 alive, 3 dead.
My friends have lost several hives already too. I don't know if it's the extreme cold, mites, who knows.
This pic is my strongest hive....and the shit bees next to it are roaring stronger than they were when I wanted them to be busy....
Chalk it up to lesson learned. Next winter, I'll do more to protect them from cold and maybe do candy boards.
