Bees flying around a yellow Langstroth beehive sitting on 4 x 4 posts. There's a cardboard box in front of the hive.

   The massive bee deaths have finally stopped! I'll have to wait and see if there's any long term effects or if the foragers were sprayed and died without too much contamination of the hive. I've been seeing orientation flights all day, even with the rain. Tomorrow I'm going in to reorganize the colony to make it easier to maintain a good cluster around the brood in one box and store their supplies in the other. Maybe they'll pull through.

   Have a great evening! 🌃👋🏼
