It's been snowy here today; probably the first real snow of the season. It's been cold too! -14C last week.
I managed to get out and put some "pink board" insulated inner covers on 5 of my hives today. I saw bees in all but one hive. I'm not sure if that's entirely good as it means the clusters are at the top of the hive. But what can you do?
Well, I'll make up some of Ted's sugar mush and a few shims for the hives and put some emergency feed on as soon as I can!
Can you make out the location of the cluster in the photo below? I think heat from the bees is melting the snow. Hopefuly the "pink board" will trap more of that heat in the hive!
