This time period is critical to your hives.  Check your colonies regularly and feed them if they do not have sufficient food stores to keep them going before the first spring nectar flows start.

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.

It has been a mild winter so far this year and in comparison to the last year.  Ifyou are a new bee keeper and have not checked your colonies yet, you should do so when weather permits.   At least see if the colony is light or heavy by trying to lift the hive with one hand from the rear.

If you can easily move it, you might want to consider providing some supplmental food to the colony.   Make and put on a candy board or purchase one.  You should be able to find sources for candy boards in your area.  The average going price for a candy board is around $20.   It could mean the difference between a colony surviving until spring or the purchase of a package of bees or  the purchase ing an queen and doing a split from another colony to replace the one which starved to death.
