Hi All, Generally a lurker but the loss issue came up. I am in central lower Michigan and with the non-stop cold (dare I say frigid!) weather, I have no clue as to what or if I have any live bees or not. Have seen a few flying back in January due to sunlight on the hive but that is about all. Have ordered replacement packages.
