Title: Frames from dead hive
Post by: bwallace23350 on February 14, 2017, 04:45:45 PM
Ok first off a field mouse was in it and part of the plastic foundation was eaten through on one frame. Did not take a picture of that but here is nothing.

BWallace, sorry to see your dead out hive.  A sad thing and the dread of every bee keeper.  Hang in there.

It happens. I got a really strong hive I hope to split or there is a feral hive near me somewhere I might try to catch a swarm off of

At least if you do a split or catch a swarm they'll have a good jump start.

I am going to feed tomorrow but I am not so sure how much it is needed now that I am seeing even the clover bloom in places around my hive.
