Summary
The August 2006 Beaver Beacon recounts Dr. Tracy’s March inspection of her Beaver Island Apiaries hives. One hive had starved over winter, while two survived with only a small amount of sugar water; the article says the bees were doing well in summer and honey extraction was planned.
Evidence limits
The article is a contemporaneous beekeeper account, not a regional bee-health survey or a production record.
