I took a picture of a few dead bees in front of the mean hive.


my guess is the hive is empty. Enlarge it to see the millions of dead girls.View attachment 2436143

I found this interesting . Ralphie will need a new queen for the mean hive if it survives . Or need to split the nice hive .https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8CRXgSDpUM&t=268s

Well, it appears they died. I didn’t check for heart beats through.

They are proof that there are live bees in the hive. When the whole hive dies, there are no live bees left to drag the dead ones outside.

I saw a bee yesterday again. SHe left the hive flew towards me then veered off I doubt she flew 10 more ft before freezing to death.

^^^ This.

If it’s been cold for a while, then warmed up enough to do housekeeping, you will see this.

My Italians were out flying really well yesterday. Maybe one Saskatraz left the hive.
