Dead out
« on: January 20, 2015, 01:33:05 am »
So yesterday I noticed some bees out flying in the 60 degree weather. I watched my hives for about 20 min and only saw bees going in and none coming out. I decided to take the top cover off and I found both hives dead. Lots of honey in both.

Anyway, I need some bees where can I still get some?

I'd set up some bait hives.  I'd also contact your local clubs and ask if anyone has bees for sale this spring.  There are several clubs in the Denver/Boulder area.

don't forget to clean out all the dead bees (or as many as you can) and seal it up to keep out wax moth and rodents, that way you have a head start in the spring
