Late Winter Feeding : Beginning Beekeeping Video

In late winter, when you have a warm day, say 44-50 F, its a great opportunity to quickly check your honeybees and beehive. In this beginning beekeeping video, we show how we open the hive and place some fondant and a grease patty in the hive to get the bees through the last bit of winter. Your honeybees may or may not have enough food stores to make it thru this last part of winter, but I am of the mind that it pays to put in some fondant. Other beekeepers will have differing opinions on this, and many other practices related to beekeeping. It is too cold to feed your honeybees sugar syrup in late winter, feed them fondant.
