Hi Pete & All

I wrapped 12 singles(1 a medium 9 frame) & six 4 over 4 nucs, in late
November.  My best producing hive (320#) was dead Jan 16, I'm guessing
high varroa as I haven't pulled it apart yet. Too much snow.  All
other hives are taking fondant except 1 single and two 4 over 4 nucs.
This weekend will tell the tale because the weather man is calling for
11C (52F) with sun so lots of flight and yellow blotches on the snow
expected.
