A Minnesota Beekeeper in Spring, sorta spring, well, not really spring...
April 16, 2018
Winter storm is done.  I hope!  We did not get all of the snow that they threatened us with, but we got a fair amount.  The wind was howling!  I peeked out the window this morning, to check to see if the entrance for Hive Lang was free from snow.  I had asked Josh last night to lean some cardboard in front of the hive entrance to keep the snow from piling up.  When I checked this morning. He did a good job on that!  However, I think due to the wind, the top box (empty, just covering the sugar syrup jar) had been pushed back, along with the inner cover.  There was about 2 inches of frames exposed to the elements.  Grr!  I ran out, took off the top box, and moved the inner cover back to where it is supposed to be.  I had to peek though, so I quickly lifted the inner cover, and the girls are all clustered up under the sugar syrup.  Thank goodness!
I really hope that winter is all played out now.  These girls need to get their on their wings!
Thanks for reading along.
