So I'm resisting temptation to open the hives and I think they're ok for stores judging by the weight but I'm wondering what - assuming the colonies survive - the state of a hive tends to be in the spring?
My bees are little so and sos for building brace comb and propolising everything down ( apparently no one told them about bee space ). Is the first spring inspection a long session of levering things apart with the hive tool and scraping wax and propolis off everything?
