Flooding

Because of the rain and melting snow the creek that runs through our farm overflowed its banks and the bottom half of two of the hives were under water with another hive tipped right over.



When the creek level went down we were able to go and have a look at the damage. Surprisingly there were still bees in all three hives although the hive that was tipped over didn't have many bees that survived and it will be surprising if any of the hives survive. Luckily we still have three other hives at our farm that weren't affected by the flooding.
