*****************
      In Chester County (southeastern Penna), I've heard two recent reports
of similar colony deaths. My five colonies have _no honey_ stored in them. I
started feeding yesterday.
      In autumn 2002, several people in Chester County began feeding in
early autumn.
      Bees _seemed_ busy and colonies appeared to be filled with bees both
summers.
