Cross your fingers.. winters here.

A week ago, after it snowed about a foot, Dad, Kelly and I went out to check on the bees. We knew the north hive was dead and we needed to collect the empty boxes for winter storage. To our surprise the south hive was alive. There were not many bees in it but maybe that wil be what saves them. We did not take any honey, and if we check them in early February we might be able to nurse them through, if they are still alive then. The middle hive is very full of honey and bees. It should be fine. But.... it will depend on the weather. Good luck nectar suckers!
