A Sad Day
Checked my hives today. I wish I hadn’t. 3 out of the 4 hives had perished. I haven’t done a complete post mortem but I did check one and I want to say mites and the cold. Every single bee in the small cluster had at least one mite on them. Makes me sad and angry with myself that I could of done more to save them.
Bright side of things is that the hive I was so unsure if they would make it just has so many bees I think they will make it no problem. Even got a few stings of the new year trying to put some sugar on (Don’t think the need it but I can’t afford to lose these guys to my miss judgement).
