Letters to you

Thanks... looking at the plus side, if it got cold enough to kill bees, maybe it got cold enough to kill some of the mosquitoes that would have bred and hatched the coming summer. Rialian's dad's beehives survived, so it may be a matter of placement. Rialian's dad also uses conventional Langstroth hives, which may provide more insulation with all the honey supers on top and the plastic comb frames. We'll see if they survive the entire winter, but so far they're ok.
