The last week of July I visited one of my bee yards to find that wind
and/or lighting had caused two trees to break and fall onto several
of my hives shattering a few.  The heat index that day was 123 and it
was very miserable sawing up those downed trees.   Last week end I
went back to the same yard a few days after a bad storm came through
our area.  This time one tree had been blown down and crushed the
very same hives.  I replaced the equipment again.  And will go back
this weekend to check them out.  Just unusual bad luck I guess.
