Winder was difficult and we have had heavy losses, but a couple of the colonies survived the second winter. The spring is quite late in the Northern Rockies region - It is May, but we still have a bit a snow on the ground and no green grass. Our plans for this year was to create nucleus colonies from the surviving stock so that we can increase colonies numbers.
July 2nd, 2021
When we got to our apiary all our plans of creating nucleus colonies from our survival stock evaporated. A bear went through our electric fence and destroyed all our colonies.
The 2021 season turned to be a disaster. We have to start over again.
