I am a new beekeeper in the Boston area and just observed something that
puzzles me.  When I inspected my hive fearing the severe winter had taken
it's toll, I found that the hive was still alive (a weak hive, but still
going).  The interesting part is there was honey on the bottom board, just
outside of the mouse guard. I put my finger in it, and smelled it.  It was
honey all right... a nice light color too.  Any ideas why this would
happen?  Did one of the bees drop a jar of honey while moving it from one
frame to another?  Several dead bees were stuck to it when the undertakers
pushed out the dead bees.  The hive is still surrounded with snow from a
winter that is never going to end.
