Winter

Once up on the ladder I was able to get a photo of the propolis curtain wall the bees made to reduce their entrance size for the winter. I am interested to see if they open it up again in the summer.

I modified a hunting ladder to fit on HAVEN’s post. This gives me easy access to the hive and only takes about 15 minutes to set up.

The temperature hit 58 degrees the other day and the bees came out for a cleansing flight.
