There's not a whole lot going on right now. It's late December and we've had some below zero weather. About a month ago, before it really hit, I cut some 2 inch insulation for the bees and covered the hive. I cut a piece for the top too.
There have been a lot of die off bees at the hive entrance. I've also seen a lot of dead on the floor of the hive. But I can still hear the bees in the hive, so I think they are doing okay. I'm hoping for another really warm day so I can take a peek inside.
