Winterizing

It's time to help the bees get stay warm for the cold months ahead.  It's pretty simple, yet seems to fire them up a bit.  I'll give them some pollen feed supplements, and put on the entrance reducers. I'll double check that they have the screen tops off, and the inner tops for winter in place.  Anything that will give them a break from the harsh winds and cold. 

If you're interested in getting bees for next spring, try to catch a local meeting before February.  We meet on the last Tuesday of the month in Quincy, we do skip Dec due to the holidays.  That just leaves 2 meetings before we start planning spring bees!

Email me anytime to details at lmoyers@adams.net  Also, we'll host a big class about bees in February and we as a club order new bees in March. Our class will be February 16th and cost is $30 for a family.  Includes your intro book, lots of handouts, and your membership fees.  It's a good way to get started-with lots of support!

Time to catch up on my bee reading and online education.  Night Night bees!
