Man has it been busy here! It seems everybody in the world wants a beehive. Working like a galley slave building hives and getting the girls ready to divide into new colonies. And now, on about the first day of Spring, 4 inches of snow! Oy, what weather is this?? But the GOOD news is, out of my 40 hives, not a single one died out! In fact, they all look really good, even the one that went queenless in late Fall--it is full of bees. I gave it some eggs/larvae, go for it girls! I believe the incredible survival rate is due to by choosing for survival by stocking with swarms in the first place--swarms that had come from untreated feral stock. More on this later, I gotta run, bzzzzzz
