I had reported last month that both of my hives were as dead as can be, but I'm happy to say that the one I considered my "weak" hive actually is alive and well!
I popped it open today when temps hit about 62f and was pleased to see all kinds of activity. I did take some pic's, so have a look!

Now feed and baby each one of them.
Wow! your hive looks great coming out from winter. the brood pattern is gold! I wished I could open up my hive but I"ve not had 62F like you yet.
I should have taken pictures. I inspected my colonies this weekend and one of my top deeps was 10 frames of full honey. Never seen that before.
