| First sting of the year. Of course, I was doing something stupid when I got it :( | |

| By the way, that was all done with no treatments. The nucs that failed starved. Really hard to do nucs that small if the winter is harsh. | |

| Checked the hives again today. 10 for 10 survival in full hives, 2 for 5 with nucs. Nucs that didnt make it were 4 & 5 frames | |

| @kfitzj If it was me I wouldn't treat. Otherwise you'll never know if they will thrive on their own | |

| @kfitzj Even among those that treat for mites, treating with antibiotics with no evidence of disease isn't the norm | |

| @kfitzj Do you know the history of the nucs you are getting? | |

| Warm enough for the girls to be flying today. So far all 8 full size hives survived, 3 of 6 nucs still humming. All look very strong. | |

| I hate to be so graphic, but it is no fun wearing a veil when you have a runny nose | |

| @BeverlyBees They probably would make good bait! I froze the boxes, cleaned up some of the frames and threw away the others. | |

| @BeverlyBees @BeechwoodBees it was 2 deeps in storage. Thought the room was bright enough to prevent. Sucks that it was my last drawn comb | |

| @Wavey10078 It's been dry here in Iowa so mating wasn't a problem in my hives that swarmed. I'll keep you posted with how e grafts go. | |

| Looks to be 33% success with the grafts, which is ok as I grafted way more than I needed. Making splits next week #beekeeping | |
