An isolated apiary went 'down' with this last bad winter. Eventually the snow cleared and I managed to reach the last hive I thought might have survived. There was no sun able to get through all winter due to rapidly growing conifers and the ground was sodden under foot.........
When I opened the hive there were 3 workers and the remaining queen barely alive.
If Custer was a queen, was this the 'last stand'?
