Winter

Just a little remark, there isn't much happening in the beehive right now. Due to the danger of robbery we attached mouse grids on the hives.
Since the winter this year is quite mild, there are still many days when the bees are out flying.
Especially the dark bees are very active. We were worrying because we found many dead bees in front of the hive. Our dark bee expert reassured us, though. This is due to the fact that they are still out with lower temperatures, more than the carnica bees. So they throw out the dead bees of the flight hole in order to make room. He also gave us the advice to take a small stick and push the dead bees out of the flight hole ourselves if they won't do it.

Here some pictures from this winter:
