Post Flood

We got about 5 inches of rain Sunday through Tuesday. So yesterday, on my way back from Portsmouth, I swung by the hives to see if they were still standing. They were. But there was 5-8 inches of standing water all around the hive. We had raised the hives on a little platform. I wanted to open them up to see how they were doing but resisted. I placed my ear to the hive bodies and gave them a good KNOCK. Reese's hive responded loudly, but mine was less enthusiastic. Just a lone bee sound. I hope all is well.... We're going out on Saturday to feed them and check up on them. With the better weather, I am confident that they will have newfound energy.
