I think people just got out of the habit of checking here. I know I did. I need to be more intentional of making this part of my routine again…

I check the forum daily and try to post when I have something to say. I see that people are reading what I post but no one ever replies even when I ask a question.
Folks used to log on just to say hi to friends.

I got out of the habit because there just isn't enough activity.  I feel like literally months go by without a post sometimes, and there are so few people around I feel like it's hardly worth it to post.  I just get better engagement from other platforms, whether I'm asking a question or answering one.  But I'll try to be better about posting more here.  It is a nice community.  :yes:

Hi everyone,

Glad to hear from you! Do you still have bees?

B13,
 I have 2 colonies still. I went into winter with 2 and they have both survived. Hoping to do some splitting this season. We'll see. :)

Good to hear! Nation wide, beekeepers saw a record number of losses. The last I heard it was around 60% losses.
