Visited orchard hive left, dead! Ugh, so frustrating. So both installs at Orchard died. Stopped by John's & Jayna's and both those hives seem busy. However the West hive may be just getting robbed, making it look like there were active. There were dead bees at top between frames but busy down below. Guess I'll have to see. I may check mid-week since it will be 70's for the next few days. Ive seen major budding on most trees! Could be a problem if we have a hard freeze. I did see North Hive bringing in pollen!
