I asked the bee keeper of these hives a couple of years ago and he hadn't done to badly. I raised bees for a few years and would lose them in spring if I wasn't on time with food after the first warm days. I understand this is still a major cause of losing hives and with springs being earlier and warmer, keepers are not prepared.

wondering if you have lost any bees up there on the island~ here we are losing about 1/3 of a hive a year...scary times.
