A little cooler today, less sun. Helped out Swarm hive by taking out opening bar and sweeping out the ground floor with a stick. It wasn't as wet in there as i had feared. Still, quite a few dead bees. Swept out some live ones too, so had to be a little careful. Interesting how there are usually some live bees down
at the entrance, even if no one is out. Am guessing, looking at the dead piles, that Maria and Swarm have had about the same number of deceased. Swarm is not clearing out as well, but that is probably a consequence of location of hive. Be very interesting to see how they come out in Spring.
