    We put your winter b kind board on in January through February.  One board, so far, lasts the two months.  But we are in southwest central Texas area.  Provides candy, venting and insulation all in one.

    Hey David, when you cut back on your healthy bee supplement due to robbing possibility, you said half a teaspoon maybe, but how much are you making at a time? &nbsp;Thanks!

    What is sensible is going into Winter with 50,000 and coming into Spring with 30,000 bees

    I thought you said to stop using liquid feed once dattime temps stay below 50°

    Hi David, I’m wondering if this method would work well in northern European apiaries, where the vast majority of lines are carnica/Carniolan, while the lines you see in the US are mostly Italian/ligustica yellow bee mixes. Carniolans really shrink down before winter; I’d rarely see a brood box with more than 8 frames covered with bees in September, and they also shut down brood rearing and don’t really use much food until spring. They still explode in March, though. Is it still worth trying to feed them throughout the winter?

    Hey David, I live in North Central Florida. I can feed liquid most of the year. Would it be worth the effort to feed candy to my girls?
