Today is a bit of a sad day for me, but only kinda sad. The bees I had gotten from a man in Napa were about 8 feet from the fire last week. I lost a lot of bees, but they seem to be doing okay right now. Unfortunately, the workers who need to repair the house need the bees to be moved before they can get any work done. The timing is really bad on this because that colony already needed to be completely torn out of the current boxes they were in and put in new ones. It wasn’t until after I got the colony that I discovered that there were no frames in the bottom box, and the upper box’s comb was completely fused together. It was certainly going to be a huge project already. Now with the fire, and golly only knows now what is happening in there, it is a project I am not an experienced enough beekeeper to take on. So I called on a beekeeper I have spoken to a few times before for advice and asked him if he would like to take this colony. He has offered me swarms on a few occasions and has been very kind to me, so I think he is the best man to care for my little bees. Bitter sweet kinda day.
