It's like my mentor always said when I asked if it was going to be a mild winter or how many hives of his he thought were going to make it. His reply was " ask me in March". Feed em, get em up to weight, put some sugar on em and you've done your best.

My Michigan mutts must watch the discovery channel lol, they do a number on the yellow jackets and bumble and carpenter bees this time of the year. Find em laying dead in front of the hive quite frequently.
I found a ball on the bottom board the other day and the gal that I'm mentoring wouldn't belive me when I told her what it was, so I busted the free for all up and at the bottom was a very dizzy yellow jacket that started staggering around, told em "good girls!"
