Arrrrgh! We lost 2 hives

[Denise]

We finally had a really nice day yesterday. 57 degrees and sun. Yay! The Barbarians (our remaining hive) were out in force. It was so good to see them out and about. We have Snow Bells in bloom and they were all over them. It's cool to have something blooming this time of year that they can make use of.
Even though bees don't have emotions like we do, it was like they were in a joyous mood. Happy to be out for the first time in ages. Go Ladies!!

Oh I don't know about that. If I was stuck in a box with 50,000 other women all of whom had to go to the bathroom and had been holding it for a few months. When I finally got out and got a chance to go. I would be pretty happy. Maybe the bees don't have the same recognizable display of emotions that we do. I want to believe that there are occasions where my hive and my bees are happy. Because I have certainly seen them when they are unhappy.
