Got an unexpected phone call last night. My bee supplier was on the line. He said he had just 1 2# package left, and wanted to know if I wanted it. I took a minute to think. Not really, I said “Yes!” right away. That means that I now have 3 packages coming. So now I can fill my top bar hives, and my Langstroth hive.

As a beekeeper, one is always looking at the forecast. The winter weather as late has been mild, but still cold. However next week looks to have a nice warm spell. Forecasting a high of 52° on Friday.
It will be then that I know if Hive Stripe has made it through this winter in Minnesota.

Thanks for reading along
