Today was our little break in cold and snow before the next crazy April snowstorm strikes, so we took the opportunity to check the bees and take off winter covers! We took apart Beeatrice's stack since they didn't make it. Dad is going to take a couple deeps home to clean and prepare for the nuc we're planning to get late April or early May, and we left one box there so it'll be ready to go.
Penelobee's colony is looking great! Dad re-positioned what was left of the pollen patties towards the center of the box where they seem to be eating more, and then we added a little sugar syrup to the pail. We'll be back in another week or two, when we get past this next snow and things start to hopefully stay above freezing for good!
