I went to see how the bees were coming along the other day. What did I find? Nothing, no bees, no brood, no stores …no sign of them replacing the queen, a completely empty hive. The problem is that because my hives were wiped out last winter I could only summon one colony. I was hoping to get them through the winter and divide them in the spring. A lesser woman would give up, it’s so depressing. Ill just have to focus on getting some swarms next summer and starting all over again…………I am going to ask for some support, I can hardly believe how much colony loss I am getting.The bee inspector was going to come to see how they were getting on. I am so depressed!
