February Beekeeping Tips

The bees are still in their cluster, perhaps breaking away for brief cleansing flights on warmer days.

Colonies are at a high risk of starvation as winter progresses. The bees' stores could be running low. Feed them!

We have lots of feed options check out our website https://www.letitbeeinc.com/
