Oh Man,,,,,,,,, Jim, I am so sorry. How can this happen to such an experience Beek. I realize if this can happen to you, then, I am worried,,,,,, I am worried about the rest of us.
Keep us informed. Man o Man, the entire trailer of seven hives. I hate hearing the loss of hives, just hate it. May the rest of your hives go through winter and enter Spring, just a buzzing.
Blessings
