First warm day in spring of 2016, observations of my honey bee colonies as they clean out old comb and propolis, carrying it away. They also remove any sick or low performing honey bee workers. Too early for drones, so not many of those being tossed, male honey bees are evicted going into winter. When drone populations begin to rise, it's time to start getting ready for splits and swarms. If you don't have drones, don't even think about making splits. I'm not opening the hive yet, as it's still a bit cold. Watching colony production before determining which to place the Flow Hive frames on... that will come soon enough!
