Fed the Bees

I removed the dead hive from the apiary today. I'll keep the wax in a sealed tote for use next year with a new hive. No sign of disease, the simply starved. So, you guessed it, I fed the other bees today. It was a beautiful day at up to 60 degrees F. The bees were active as well. I fed the bees honey, one quart each hive. Hopefully this will make a difference. I'll keep a check on them.

I sure hope the rest make it through the winter. It is sad you lost the hive, but things like that happen.

We have 8" of snow this morning. 60 degree temps sound really good to me. I'll have to wait a while to check my hives. I can only hope for the best at this point. Hope the rest of yours are OK.
