Hive Inspection

The Hive at Woody’s pond was opened and inspected. The hive numbers were very low and are a concern. The queen was found easily. There are eggs, larva and capped brood present. Also a large number of dead bees in the bottom of the hive. The last inspection I cleaned the bottom of the hive out, so these are all new deaths in the last 6 weeks. The hive may be getting too much wind. Sun is not a problem. I moved the entrance excluder to the other side as to maybe prevent wind from blowing directly on the brood.
