Hi everyone, nice to read you, I have one year of beekeeping with three hives under my belt and so far they have survived the coldest winter I have ever known. I wasn't sure I was going to make it myself (I work outside).
my bees were flying today 47 deg "wow get out the speedo" :rolleyes:

Hey Beek08. I grew up in Warren. Now I live the SW corner of the state and my two hives have made it so far. Great winter with lots of snow!

Welcome and pray for warmer weather. If I get cold here in Tennessee, I can only imagine how cold you all are up there! :)
