Perfect. That would be a wonderful way to remember them!
Yes. A lot of the keeps in this area were having exactly the same problems I was, unusually heavy mite loads, die offs, starving due to the cold weather, and there were losses for some of the professional keeps that were above 50% of their colonies, so I don't feel too bad in some respects. It wasn't just my lack of experience that killed my girls, so to speak. With the early cold into fall, a lot of colonies don't have much in reserve so they're far more likely to attack people in defense of what they have.
Thank you for your purchase and for your hopes and wishes for next year. Thank you!!
