Hi
Checked my 4 hives to day, they are standing in 2 feet of snow
and still frozen to the cementblocks they stand on. All 4 col. were
flying and all had stores left in the top box one seemed to have
a smaller population than the others.
 
They were treated in the autumn each with 4 strips of apistan
+ greasepatties with wintergreen oil.
 
The temperature to day went up to +9 c. = 50 f.
 
Keeping the fingers crossed, old man winter may not have finished
farting yet.
