NEAR TOTAL HIVE LOSS... What Happened?

Описание: It has been a terrible, terrible year for the bees. It all started a year ago with a cold spring and a summer with extended drought, which severely weakened the colonies going into fall. I did my best to feed them and prep them for winter, but then we had a brutally cold winter... and that was the final straw. It has not been warm enough to get into the hives until today and though I had already suspected the worst, it was harder to open all these hives than I thought it would be.

This is a sad setback, but there was one positive light, which I discovered in the last hive. I have hope for the rest of the year. I will rebuild. We will recover.
