I'm really upset because I went to check on the bees this morning and when I opened the hive there was not a single bee there. Just silence and an empty comb and a few old dead bees along the edges of the bottom of the box.

The only bee I saw around was one solitary little trooper going from squash blossom to squash blossom in the garden, but she never went to the hive. I watched her for a while until I lost track of her.

What happened yesterday? Up until day before yesterday the bees had pretty much maintained status quo despite the yellow jackets.

I left them alone yesterday. Maybe I shouldn't have. Maybe I should have checked on them.
