Nice box of bees, I am lightly feeding mine for the rest of Summer into Fall, it appears to be working well. I think having that little extra food on there at times is very beneficial. Thanks for sharing Harris...
I want mine to get their numbers up, then when they slow the brooding down the first of oct. I will pull the pollen. the hope is the queen really drops off laying and all the bees have too much to eat with no brood to feed and they get fat. I will put it back on in dec. to push brooding for almonds in feb.
