I am worrried tonight in Southern Maryland, USA.
We expect a hard freeze tonight. I know the bees
themselves can take -80F and still be OK, but I
worry because of all the warm weather we have had
and the bees have been bringing in lots of pollen
and nector AND raising a lot of brood. I am
wondering if they will be able to cover all the
brood. I have seen this before where the Queen
really gets going good in the Spring and then a
cold snap comes and they cover what they can and
the rest freeze.
I don't know what to do about it, so I guess I
shouldn't worry too much.
Keep warms girls and I'll check on you as soon as
I can.
