Bees and Good Housekeeping


Remember my post two days ago about the dead bee bodies accumulating on the porch of the hive in the cold weather?

Yesterday our high was in the 60s all afternoon. The bees, being extremely good housekeepers, took care of the debris and this morning their front porch is all clean and shiny. I wish I were as good a housekeeper as these girls are!

    It's not that cold here, although maybe I need one. Last year there were no mice nesting in my hives, but this could certainly be the year for it.....

    Linda,

    I very much enjoy your blog and videos. I am a newbee who got a nuc in October and am beginning the learn.

    I just went through a similar death and clean-up by my bees as you describe.

    I have also begun a blog to keep some record.

    Thanks again.
