I agree with Randall, 9F was common in WV mountains where I just moved from, but what I worry about is all this continuous warm, cold, warm, cold weather here.  I cannot imagine what the clusters are doing.

Hey y’all,

 

The forecast for Tuesday morning is 9 oF.  With this unusually cold weather, is there anything that could be done to your average bee hive to give them a helping hand?  I have a total of two, so I’d be willing to wrap the hive in blankets if that’s not silly.  If it makes no significant difference I’ll twiddle my thumbs instead.  I know they have honey stores galore…assuming the bees are not too cold to walk a few centimeters to get it.

 

Thanks, in advance.

 

Tom
