Honey Hills findings

Worked bees all day last Friday and most of saturday. not in bad condition, but way behind normal. They have used at least twice what I have had to feed in past years. Decent brood patterns all things considered, but very little drone brood at this point. Mites were active in only one hive, so I feel good about that discounting fact of very little drone brood. Found 2 more starved in last 5 weeks with honey 2 frames away. Sudden March and February shifts created the perfect storm for border line hives.
