Deep Freeze 08

There has been lots of bees that have died outside the entrance. I suppose the cold is killing them off a bit.
It suddenly went cold and was into the teens at night.
I even noticed some fallen bees a bit away from the entrance, like they flew and froze! I check often and brush away the dead bees from the entrance. I fed them some sugar just before the cold snap.

I'm hoping they will survive the winter. Usually in Washington we don't have this cold for as long as we have had recently. We had about a two week cold and snow session.
