Coldest blast in 20 years ? not good for honeybees

With the record breaking cold weather that we have experienced, I fear that many of us will have dead colonies.  It has been too wet/cold to look since the cold spell but ASAP I will do a very brief  inspection to see who survived.  Package bees will sell out very fast if we experienced great losses .  Also bees use extra food when it is cold, at least give your hives a quick look to check food stores when the weather allows !
