This sums up today's visit to the vineyard hives. Broken hearted I guess. 3 more gone. All froze even though they were covered/wrapped and had food.

1-16-15 Visit

Very nice January day. It got up to 62°. Was planning on feeding them if I could. I was able to visit the orchard hives. Alex and I built more fondant boards and Jackson assisted mixing the sugar. 

Unfortunately we've lost yet another hive to the frigid temps. It did look like their numbers were weak so may have been one of the issues going into winter. The other hives seem ok, especially a wild hive that I caught last year.
