Thousands of dead little bodies with their heads buried deep into the cells where they had been looking for food.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s never noice having to deal with a dead colony, but I cleaned it out, brought home the frames that had lots of dead bees in and will now have to clean those out as well. Hopefully that will be the last time I&#8217;ll have to do that this year. We therefore currently have 3 colonies, two in our home apiary and one in our out apiary but we will need to keep on top of the feeding for a couple of months yet just to get them through the early part of Spring. We&#8217;ll have to check them properly soon as well, just as soon as it warms up. When it does, they&#8217;ll each get a proper inspection, a clean of the floors, some frames might need replacing and they&#8217;ll get a general tidy up and assessment. It won&#8217;t be long before we get that done and then the beekeeping season will be underway once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unfortunately the news from the out apiary\u00a0isn&#8217;t quite so good&#8230;\u00a0The larger of the two colonies seems OK.
