Aw bummer CA! Sorry to hear that.
I've been wondering about my bees. I've not seen them since around Oct. when it got cold. I don't know if they're balled up in there keeping warm or if they've gone on to bee heaven. I've been waiting for a 55 degree day to open the hive and take a look.
Your news is not encouraging. Sigh.
If they did'nt make it I'm definately going to get another package and try again.
