Hi from Portola Valley, CA

Wanted to say Hi to everyone and in the process not get bumped off this great site. 

I got my first hive this summer and am sorry to say they didn't make it through the cold snap we had a few weeks ago   :(   but the silver lining is that I found this site while researching what to do different and I love it!

Welcome and try, try again.  At least you have drawn comb to start new bees on this spring.
