Checking colonies, Winter damage, Raising new queens

This is the time of year we check are colonies to see how they overwintered. The long cold winter along with the continuing problem with varroa mites has caused more than 50% loss this winter. (10-15% is normal)

We found one yard that only 2 of 20 were alive, so we decided to use one of the remaining hives (it was very strong) as a queen mother for our breeding program. We will use her daughters to make new hives in May to replace losses. We hope her winter survival traits can be passed along to future colonies.
