Friend, I just took a photo of a ice sickle that is about four foot long. It’s next to my enormous wind chime, now that would hurt you ! There’s a bee box underneath it, there’s no bees in this hive right now, or they would be covered. A couple of years ago I lost the bees in this hive to a cold winter, none of our bee keepers friends hive made it either, it was so cold. Loved my bees 🐝 ❣️
Don't like losing bees; we lost two colonies recently.
Awesom, you are a bee keeper to! It is so sad to loose bees. That hive had the sweetest little bees there. They were vey calm, and good workers. I got two hundred pounds of honey from them one year, I miss them a lot❣️Did your colonies swarm?
We've had them swarm, but just like a gentleman down the street, he lost two more hives due to robbing. We think we had the same thing going on; we had 5 hives, but now due to yellow jackets and robber bees, we're down to one good hive and one that isn't doing a whole lot right now. So sort of 1 1/2 going now, just waiting for spring
That’s sad 😞 ❣️
We're waiting for spring and we'll open them up and make a determination from there.
