I wanted to check my hypothesis that the difference between exterior temperature (0 degrees) on the Segeberger hive and the temperature measured in the grip (3.1 degrees) could suggest bee activity. This hypothesis was confirmed. The difference in temperature seems to be +3 degree Celsius. All my hives still have bees and three out of four seemed to have enough honey.

Powdered sugar dusting was used as "suble" varroa mite treatment.

On the technical side, this movie was made using a Xiaomi Yi filming in 2K@30p, the lens was refocused.
