In the fall, the bees seal up cracks in the hive to reduce drafts. There remains an opening a the top and bottom of the hive so air can flow through. The weather in Seattle has recently brought us many inches of snow which covers the entrance of the hive.
This morning I went out with a stick and scrapped the snow from the entrance. I also listened for the girls and thought a heard a faint buzzing. I wish I had a stethoscope to listen better. I so look forward to visiting the hive in the spring.
