Some overwintered hives made it through until recently and a re dying from lack of honey,pollen,and moisture issues. If you haven't checked, this afternoon is supposed to be in the mid 40's.
The past two mornings- Sat.& Sun. have been 15 & 17 degrees respectively. This is really tough on our new bees.I will be checking this afternoon on queen release and overall conditions. There have been a few losses reported due to the cold.

Completely lost one of two hives and it was there perkier of the two when installed. When I refilled syrup 2 days ago bees seemed sluggish. Other hive seems to be okay so far.
