cleaning house
.
Here's another reason why I thought the blue hive was dead: no dead bees on the outside. Bees are such tidy insects - they'll haul out their dead so the hive is kept clean. No dead bees on the outside made me think they were all dead on the inside! Not the case, though, as I mentioned in a previous post. They're all happily working away at building their colonies, and in a month or two they should be up to about 50,000 bees or more in each hive.
