Never know what you will find...
On Saturday, April 6, 2019, I went to my hives to clean them out. This is the horizontal hive after I removed the frames. If you look closely, in the center of the bottom is a dead mouse, just sitting there, not curled up. It had damaged a couple of frames, but was well back from where the bees were, so did no damage to them. Up front you see a lot of dead bees on the floor. I found the dead queen among them. Here she is, I laid her on a piece of comb to take the picture.
