4 hives survived winter in the Niagara colonies. These 2 of the hives are looking extremely strong. While some still need some strengthening. All of the loose sugar on the top of the hives was consumed. So, keep doing that.
The 007 hive was split to strengthen the next door hive. The next door hive had a queen but almost no surviving workers. The newspaper method with 4 frames of brood and nurse bees was moved over. The neighboring hive had an open screened entrance but this was not enough ventilation. A few handfuls of workers died. More ventilation is needed.
