Check Your Bees

2/9/2012

0 Comments

 
Hopefully your bees have made it to this point ok.   We have had plenty of 40 degree + days for the bees to take cleansing flights and to forage for pollen from some of the winter blooming species of trees (alder, hazenut).

Some normal (typical) winter weather is forecast for the next week or so.   If you put a candy board on your colonies in December, you may want to check to see how much is left and possibly replace it with a full candy board.
