SPRING IN THE APIARY

Spring is definitely here.  Warm weather.  The bees have started working the pussy willows and maples for pollen in order to make bee bread.  This will trigger the bees to begin raising brood in earnest.  This is also the starving season for bee colonies.  Make sure to check your hives for adequate honey to last to the start of the honey flow.  If necessary feed them 2:1 or 1:1 sugar water.
