She checked them four days later (outyard). There had been cold and rain ever since the split day and the hive with no feeder was almost completely dead. Just a few bees huddled around the queen, all brood chilled off and a mound of dead bees on the bottom board. Really sad. The fed splits were all booming and strong.WesternWilsonhttp://planbeeproject.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-23525387146819383382013-05-05T06:48:34.159-04:002013-05-05T06:48:34.159-04:00We are still getting snow in MN. Four large storms...We are still getting snow in MN. Four large storms in april and one last tuesday. I am trying to replace a drone layer and none of my queens are laying much brood at all. It is a total pollen and nectar dearth here. I am worried it is going to be a grim season for us!sweetpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14084788796914784918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-44804217847833275282013-05-04T22:33:43.943-04:002013-05-04T22:33:43.943-04:00Linda, Blackberries are in bloom now too.
