I know that we’ll have a few more cold spats before spring is *really* here – but here’s today’s update from the bee-yard.
After our freezes over the holidays. The 2 youngest nucs (which were rescues) did not survive the cold. The other nucs that were started earlier in the fall – doing fantastic! It was warm enough to do open feeding in the bee-yard today.
On another note – I’ve already started receiving calls for honeybee removals. Unless a homeowner absolutely HAS to have the bees out now – I try to schedule for either (a) the warmest day possible – preferably above 70 deg. F. (21c) or (b) later in the spring when nighttime temps are consistently above 50 deg. F. (10c).
