A Great You Tube Video - Opening a Hive in Late Winter

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ToDqLQOLuC0
Terry McBelle checked her bees on Feb 23. She really did it right. Opened the cover and inner cover.
Looked quickly. Confirmed she had a good number of bees, looked to see they had plenty of honey. Closed up the hive.
The check took less than 2 minutes, a perfect winter check. Nice video Terry.
