It got practically 70 degrees today and with prompting from my dad to feed the bees, I decided to open the hives. 

Hive #1 is doing fine apparently. They even still have some capped honey. Regardless, I put a little more honey out.

Hive #2 on the other hand is, well, dead.

ALL those bees are dead.

I raked them off into the garden and Daddy helped me strip the comb off. We're going to melt the majority of it (some of it was kind of spoiled) down--there are all kinds of use for beeswax, so it's not a complete waste.

While I cannot say that I'm happy about this, I find that I am strangely calm about it all. Maybe because I don't feel so well--and I still have ONE hive going!!
