I know that every beekeeper goes through something like this, but it really doesn’t make it any easier. Fine, I will mark it as experience, but I don’t like it. A few days ago my partner in crime checked on the bees and found that there has been a mass die off of bees in the top feeder. They aren’t starving because we have been giving them food, so I am not sure what it going on. It is still pretty heartbreaking when you lift the lid and find hundreds of dead bees. The hive is still alive, but with the weather turning again soon we won’t be able to go in again and check on them again for a while. We can’t even go into the box anyway because it’s too cold. ERG! I hate not knowing what the heck is going on!
