Cleansing Flight

We had an unusually nice, warm, January day. I saw a few bees going in and out of the hive, so that’s a good thing! It wasn’t quite warm enough to open the hive and peek inside. As much as I wanted to see what was going on, I didn’t want to break up the cluster.

I’ve been using a hangar with a hook on the end to clear out dead bees and keep the entrance open. Hopefully since it was warm they cleared out a few on their own.
