Second Winter Surviver

Woo-hoo! The colony survived another winter. I guess the sugar syrup worked because there were a lot of bees last weekend when I checked on them. I took the roofing paper off the hive and put on two honey supers. The next day I got an email from the beekeeper association that keepers were seeing weight gain on their hives so we know the nectar flow has started. Not surprising since it has been in the 60s and 70s lately.
