Sorry to hear that. I've heard of some sort of disease hitting bee keepers locally here.

It's definitely a two-edged sword. The cold over this way is doing its part to keep some of the invasive species in check. We had a 0 degree night in January 2018 and several nights below 10 these past two winters which really helps with some of the imported and invasive Asian plants.

It was pretty rough to continually find my hives dead last winter but the hives are in much better health this year.
I’m a cold and snow lover so I don’t mind the cold usually. Last January was impressive and combined with the back ground issues just caused problems. It’s always a double edged sword with animals especially honeybees. To much cold and they can starve to little cold so they become active then they may stave. Always best to have it a little bit cold and a little warm
