I checked my hives on Saturday for the first time since November. I
currently have 0% losses (26 for 26 alive, stretched out over 5 yards).
Highly irregular for me, as I usually have a 20-30% loss.

It's still a little bit early though. About 3 of those were small clusters
and may not make it. But about 8 were pushing the sides of the single box,
having too many bees, and a queen laying wall to wall.

All located in North Carolina. For what its worth.
