Bees really active yesterday, bringing in pollen

Warm enough to be able to sit there and watch for a while!

Bees Flying, Peeked Inside

Lots of dumping of dead bees.  Looked through the window.  Nicely dark brood comb and a LOT of honey still left, all looking clean and tidy.  Hope they make it the rest of the way.  Supposed to get cold again.  62F today.

Still going even after the temp crashed to 5F

Bees out a little bit

About 57F for a high, due to crash later today.  Looks like they were trying to clean out dead ones a bit and I think my wire is hampering the effort.

Checked on the bees, they are ok.

A lot of dead ones stuck in the entrance worried me, so I got the IR camera.  Nice hot blob showing, so I assume they are ok.  Past few days have been around zero F and below at times.  Very cold.

Bees out again, 50F!

Pretty warm.

Flying Yesterday, But Winter Arrives Today

60+ yesterday, but 34F right now, with really strong winds.
