Here you can see large numbers of bees with their heads in the cells, trying to get out that last drop of nutrition. Really sad:
So this is a lesson for me, as I had not aggressively fed this hive as it showed great signs of health through fall, and I had hoped that during the fall flow they would have put more away for winter. The foundationless system we had used made pulling frames difficult, and this hive was a bit hotter making it less fun to work.
So, oh well. Live and learn. I inspected my rooftop hives and all of them are perfect. So are the other two Pilgrims hives. I will feed with syrup all when we have forecast a few warm days.
Can we open the hive during the winter to see if they are okay?
ReplyDeleteOH! I am so sorry to see this. As a new beekeeper, I fear this as well. But mistakes are how we learn. The bees understand and are wishing you success in bee heaven!
ReplyDeleteCharles, you can open on a mild day like the ones we have had. The bees should be flying, which would be a good indication of health.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I opened both hives yesterday and they bees are still alive. I am worried though because they seemed less active than ususal. I also don't see them flying around during the day.
