We love all pollinators here at Honey & the Hive, not just our beloved honey bees! As autumn sets in and the leaves start changing, we ask you to consider the wild pollinators and "leave the leaves" that fall in your yard.
Early spring can be a tricky time for beekeepers as they decide whether or not to support their hives with extra feeding. If you are establishing new colonies or if weather conditions are making it hard for your bees to forage, supplementing with sugar syrup can offer additional sustenance for your bees.
Seasonal transitions can seem slow or sudden. Sometimes we are caught unprepared when our temperatures drop overnight. Even during a single day, our temperatures can shift +/- 20°F or more from dawn to dusk. This post will highlight some of the changes you can expect in our area during the fall-to-winter transition period.
