JeremyCleaning out dead hives is the saddest part of beekeeping.
2 more to go. Sigh.
At least the weather is good for the work, I guess.

@steamworkgroup Same up here. I'm really bummed because they looked great heading into winter. I'm going to do mine this weekend.
@brianb Thanks! Unfortunately here, I had a massive increase in mosquito spraying and at least one documented instance of a bunch of dead small fish in the creek they use.
This may be the last year I try if my neighbors don't change their behavior.
I hope you fare better this year!
