Here in a high mountain valley in Utah we had the snowiest winter on record.
And it was cold. Normally we get a few warm days (50 - 60 degrees f) in January or February, but this year we didn't have a high in the 50's until April.
Add in all the factors: Varroa, neighbors spraying glyphosate on their fields, and no warm days for cleansing flights, added up to a very low winter survival rate this year.
How did you bees do and where do you live? Feedback welcome!
Snow at nearby ski resort.
