Went and had a look at the hives today.........There were a few dead bees on the landing stage of one of the hives and a few on the ground, (for the pedantic amongs you that amounted to 23 bees). The second hive had no sign of anything, not even a huge roar when I knocked it. Just a little roar and none came to do battle. I guess i will still do nothing till end of the month. The weather here is very cold this morning with a right old nearly freezing mist and an air temp at the hives of 7.3c. As I was watching, a bee came back to the hive but stumbled and stuttered as it tried to land and go into the hive? Maybe the wire/wood was too cold to land on?
