Almost LOST my Bees | Your Advice SAVED Them | Thank You!

Bee Update 20190628 - A week ago, I was worried I was going to lose my hive. Population was low, and they didn't have a very much food stored. Someone commented that I really should be feeding them still - this seemed odd to me, giving how much there is in bloom out there right now. But I took the advice to heart, and started feeding. They took over a gallon of syrup in less than a week, and now population is booming! Laying patterns are still a little weird, but in places where the queen isn't laying, there's food. So I can't fault her for that at this point.

I also got a lead on getting a NUC for almost 1/2 the going rate. So we'll also take a 40 minute drive north of here, and check them out.
