Rodni, I lost 8 of 9. I had one that came through with FLYING colours, it has almost 2 boxes of brood now. I need to get onto doing a split. I am lucky they haven't swarmed. I will let them raise a new queen of their own. We are moving when our house sells, so it was a good thing in disguise that I lost the bees. I believe many good things happen from things that may be originally bad. Beautiful days, to love, live and share, health. Cindi
