I now need snowshoes to get to the hives as we have much more snow this winter than last. I’m grateful for the snow as it adds needed insulation for the queens and colonies to stay warm and healthy. The worker bees must maintain the cluster temperature around the queen at about 80 degrees inside the hive. Here are some recent photo’s of the hives. You can hear the bees inside if you put your ear up next to the hive body.
