Fall feeding…keep your honey bee colonies’ pantry stocked for the winter

Remember to feed the Honey bees

In our area here in North Florida the nights are getting colder, soon the cold days will be upon us. Nectar is scarce and the bees need to have plenty of stores on the hive. If the colonies are on the light side, then we feed. A couple of months ago we where feeding the bees a thin sugar syrup to boost the population of all our colonies. Now that we have a boom in population we want to give them a heavier sugar syrup, syrup that they will store!

Today, we’ve been feeding the bees lots of 2:1 sugar syrup to insure that all of the colonies put on plenty of weight. We want nice fat bees going into the cold months, so that come Spring the bees are alive and hardy! We are keeping our fingers crossed and hoping all of our colonies are strong, we hope your bees do too. Happy Beekeeping and remember to feed, feed, feed your bees!

A post within a post, posting on bees and beekeeping

Tonights post is a simple and short one.  I am simply linking my post from another blog to this my primary blog (yes, it is a post related to beekeeping..sort of).  Below is the link, I hope you read the post and enjoy it.  Funny how some of the most thought provoking  statements arise from a singular event….in this case my post that I am sending my readers to.  In that post I quote someone and I found their final statement to be thought provoking , and it gave me something to think about and “chew on”.  I think you too will find it interesting and maybe even thought provoking , I guess your just going to have to read the post.

As always I leave you with my favorite salutation, Happy Beekeeping and good night!

Wallace Family Apiary Feeding Station- OPEN FEEDING

Cover of "Beekeeping (Complete Pet Owner'...

Cover via Amazon

Today I am feeding the colonies again. A thin sugar syrup for population increase, just before the cold weather arrives.. The only difference in my feeding scheme today is this time I’m using open feeding…that is feeding the bees far from the colonies. It’s easy to set up and you can replenish the pails as needed without having to open a single colony, and not many bees drawn. Another advantage is just like feeding inside the colony, open feeding, from at 75 to 100 yards away, makes robbing a non issue.  I’ve got some videos and still photos of how I did my open feeding , and upon investigating the colonies,  no robbing behavior was observed.  Enjoy the videos and photos. Happy Beekeeping!
