Chilling out

I checked the ladies this morning to ensure they had enough sugar syrup. They all look rather cute all huddled in by the food space. Several dozen are on the outside of the feeder mesh and they seem energetic yet huddled into a small hole leading to the mesh.

Of the final bees that were remaining in the delivery cage the first evening a fist size group of them never made it into the entrance and have died. It is probably 50 or so, and a bit sad.

In the past 4 days we have had many variations between rain, sleep, snow, and hail. The temperature has been around 38 degrees all day. We look forward to warmer days.
