1 package Italians, 2 packages with Russian queens arriving in a few weeks - all destined for my Warres. Very excited!
So interested in following your work with spales. My one Warre (a rigorous colony) died during a 3 day stretch of severe cold weather in Maine. They starved, surrounded by honey, Appears as if they would not cross the short space into the comb above.
Uninterrupted brood nest makes perfect "bee" sense.
