My hive passed away over the winter.
All appearances is that it was from starvation.
I will be installing new bees soon into the hive.
There is comb,pollen and some honey stores still left.
What should I leave inside when I restart?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Everything. Dump em in, and they will have a nice head start with drawn comb, some pollen and some honey.

Keith,
Where are you getting your bees? Do you know if they still have any available? I know of a woman in Red Hook that is looking for a couple of packages.
BTW, I live in Olivebridge.

Keith, your gonna have some really happy bees. Right, they do have everything they need to start up their new home. Amazing little creatures aren't they. Have a beautiful day, good health. Cindi
