Time sure is ticking by fast! As I am going around doing my last rounds on my hives, I am checking to see which hives still need a little bit of an extra boost in their winter stores. Some hives are all good to go but other ones are still feeling a little bit light. So here is how I know which hives need the last bit of 2:1 syrup or corn syrup to get them ready for winter. Also...just a little chat about why I don't like feeding bee hives in October!

Feed the bees, feed the bees, feed the bees, it all becomes about math come Winter. I haven't seen drones for a month or more. Be careful what material you use putting something between the boxes you don't want to trap wet back there and make ice. I like to keep the driving rain off my boxes, the boxes can absorb a lot of moisture over the Winter. Feed the bees😮‍💨I am beginning to look forward to Winter.😂Blessed Days Emily...

Heat doesn't transfer through foam.

commercial beekeeping can be the main cause behind all diseases ,including varroa .

Looks like you have some Aster(maybe) blooming right next to them. That'll help them put up extra Fall stores. They got that one filled up, many people don't realize we feed when they don't have enough, it's not that we want to feed. It's all about the Bees, Good stuff Emily.

You can always feed with buckets and they'd be sealed up, but for us northerners feeding late means the bees may not have enough time to dry and cure that syrup. This can be disastrous for the bees as the moisture form the uncured feed could kill them over the winter.

October and we’re still in the 90s in North Central Texas. My hives are also kicking out drones already in this heat.

Even with my hives being full of stores right now, as warm as it’s been I worry that they will eat it all by November or something lol 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s so hard to decide to stop feeding. But the weather is getting cooler this week and I will have to stop and wait until fondant time if they need it.
