A winter storm with high winds had come through just before Christmas. While it did make it a white Christmas in the beeyard, the wind had knocked over the stack of honey supers and blown the outer cover off of Purple.
I carted up the supers to store in the barn. I think the comb was largely undamaged, which I was worried about since wax is very brittle when its cold.
I then brushed the snow off of the snow that had fallen on the wool in the top insulatory box on Purple. The top outer cover was placed back on top with a cinder block to keep it in place.
The bees seemed to be ok in their section of the hive. Hopefully not too much extra moisture had made its way into the hive.
