December update

We are having a nice warm early December in northeast Ohio. Today I checked on the bees and found that the Ohio queen hive and the swarm hive at my house and the swarm hive at my dad's house are still alive. The package hive at my house is dead and the one at Cora's house is small but alive.

I noticed that the Ohio queen hive is already in the top of the box, which is not good. Since the weather is going to be warm tomorrow again I put a quart of 2:1 syrup on there for them to take down.
