I've read a few articles about the bees abandoning hives but I'm not educated enough or even remember why they think it is happening. We definitely need to save the bees and figure out what is causing these things to happen. Our food supply depends on them.<BR/><BR/>You have a good week and drop by for a visit.<BR/><BR/>Hugs, Steph<BR/>Queen of DreamszStephanie Suzanne Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121430170088480348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-1572012406202108212008-11-04T17:10:00.000-05:002008-11-04T17:10:00.000-05:00Oh what terrible news about the hives.

I sooo hope they survive the winter and that there are some young hiding in there somewhere. <BR/><BR/>Your pony pictures are lovely, and moonbeam is a yummy boy.

There are 3 hives on top of the Royal York Hotel.

My fear is that perhaps the hive has a disease that may be resposible for the death of the bees.<BR/><BR/>I feel like a new colony of bees might have a better chance with a whole new hive(s).<BR/><BR/>We just do not know why honeybees are so very fragile right now. I want to optimize the chances of success.Bee Haven Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10003927601786061426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-10353261833161558882008-11-02T21:14:00.000-05:002008-11-02T21:14:00.000-05:00why do you need new hives?beekeeping is such a mys...why do you need new hives?<BR/>beekeeping is such a mystery to me - I would have thought new bees in a cleaned out hive would have worked fine <BR/><BR/>how very sad that the hive may be completely gone :(andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08911146116540091798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3617428990857687043.post-7120461947595939982008-11-02T19:22:00.000-05:002008-11-02T19:22:00.000-05:00I am so sorry about your bees - I hope you missed ...I am so sorry about your bees - I hope you missed the queen and that spring will find brand new babies in the hive.<BR/><BR/>TerriTerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13934176006773916798noreply@blogger.com
