2024-04-11 Plenty of stores and a bunch of dead bees on the floor. This colony was the last to mate last year, so a lot of the bees would have been older bees at that point. The were only about 4 frames of brood in the bottom box to the north. The laying pattern wasn’t super and I didn’t see the queen, but there was eggs and brood.
