Bad day, had a gut feeling about two hives all winter. Reduced down to four hives in the autumn.
Sadly I was right. A handful of bees dead on both omf boards and the hives still packed with food.
50 percent losses. Haven't had a winter like that for thirty years. My guess is not enough winter bees.
