The hives at GG and Corona street mostly perished during the long winter months. Some of the disappearances of the bees was a mystery while others just diminished until the cold snap in Feb finished them off. All hives were treated for mites with the same protocol. Only 2 hives survived.
The unfinished pine hive and the double deep green survived. The unfinished pine hive was damaged from the winter weather and was no longer a good container for the bees. So I transferred the contents of the pine hive to the double deep yellow hive body. This colony was approximately 3 frames of bees. We gave them an additional lower deep with half empty brood frames and half resource frames.
The double deep green hive was absolutely packed full of bees. We did some minor cleaning in the hive and gave them a new lower box full of brood frames.
