We had a strong storm move through KC last night with 70 mph winds/heavy rain. The supers/lid to one of my hives were blown off and it rained 3 inches down through the hive bodies all night. I was out of town this weekend and discovered it this afternoon. I put the hive back together but those bees weren't happy. The supers had been 'cleaned' by the surrounding hives. I'm assuming that the brood/eggs were all lost in those conditions. It seperated at the queen excluder which is a slick plastic. I should have spent a few extra $ on the wood/metal and this may not have happened.
Anyone else been blown over by winds?
Thoughts?
