The Bees Seem to Be Thriving

The bees were flying so, with the winter wrap and sun, they were clearly warm enough.

I briefly popped the top to add sugar fondant, but they still had most of the fondant I gave them in early December, which was great to see. Starvation, varroa mites, and hive beetles are the enemy and the likely cause of most colony collapse. I treated for varroa and beetles in early December, when I added the fondant. All seems fine.
