Hi all!

I live in Northern New Jersey about 30 minutes from Manhatan and we indured another snow storm.  The accumulated snow in front of my house is about 5 feet 8 inches.  I think this is the 5th snow storm this season and the cold is presistent.  I have two hives and lost one in late December.  The other one is hanging in there. I hope it will survive. I ordered one package to replace the lost hive and will do a split to ensure
survival in mid sprint.  The cold or arctic cold is not going any where from our area and the snow is not melting.  I feel for all of the Beeks in our areas and frankly I wont be surprised if my second hive wont make it.  All i need is a day with 50 + temps to inspect and add three or four boards full of honey for the surviving hive.


Peace

There is no telling how long it will take to melt a 5 foot pile of snow.   Here in Georgia, the snowman in the front yard is now just a 3 foot pile of snow.   Geez.  But the bees are flying right now.   :)
