Several of our beekeepers are reporting the loss of colonies due to the recent spells of cold weather.
Have you lost a colony (colonies)?
In order to gauge the severity of the problem, and try to define the most probably causes of colony loss we would like to hear from you.
Please email newentbees@googlemail.com or burrowsadrianj@gmail.com indicating how many colonies you keep and how many have died. One of us will follow up with a request for further details. We will hope to identify a major cause and (possibly) methods to avoid losses in future years.
