Last week's storm with its ice and strong winds sheared the sliding doors off the greenhouse.

Once the doors were blown off, the wind worked to blow-out the southeast side.

| Plastic ripped off from the frame. |
Was able to repair the side with greenhouse tape and more rope. Now, I am awaiting parts for the door. In the meantime, kind Brooks' Facilities staff got the doors to mostly close.
Gratefully, the greenhouse can be repaired. Alas, I cannot say that for the honeybees and my overwintering hive.

| Nothing happening here. |
During that unusually warm spell in February, the bees were flying. I gave them some dry food. Came back at the next warm day, which was a month later sadly, and noticed no flying bees. Hence, I found a dead hive. Luckily, I was able to order bees and will work harder to keep healthy honeybees.
