Today was the first day above 50 degrees in weeks. The bees took advantage of that and broke cluster to get some much needed work done. Cleansing flights, dead removal, reallocation of reserves to name a few. The bees in Mary, only 1 box, were massed in the SE corner working the end frames. Myrina's girls were also in the SE corner but mostly in the lower box, again working the end frames.
I really only went in because i needed to take the Apistan out. The target date is Friday the 18th but it is forecasted to be freezing again by then. I also looked around Myrina some pulling the frames from the upper box. All honey and as usual angry bees. I saw no problems.
This time next month I hope to be feeding both hives with pollen. I want to build up the population as best i can for the Spring splits I'm planning.

This sounds much more optimistic than the last post, I guess that is my lack of knowledge.
Thanks for sharing.
