Bees update

Three to five dead bees on snow in front of each hive. This is the first really sunny day we've had for awhile. Also it's just up around 32 degrees. So there is some sign of life, probably as much as can be expected to show in these conditions.

WIP continuing

Thank goodnes, paint on every bit of the surface.

Signs of Hive Life

Both hives have a few dead bees in the snow outside the hive. Have had a couple of days with calm winds, temps in the high 20s, and sun. Last snow a couple of days ago, so this shows recent signs of life in the hives.
