Your bees are looking good. They are eating my fondant even though I had to leave the slits upwards. Your bees are eating it right up.

Yes. When I checked other hives it was the same thing. Patties almost gone

Looks good. I am keeping an eye out on mine too. Too warm past few years.

[@silverlakeadventure]

Yes the warmest winter so far for us. We came to Iowa in '96 never expected warmer winter weather. Thanks

I use the reflectex and pink foam board also and I live in Wisconsin, no moisture issues all this winter at all so far works great👍

There are different methods of beekeeping. This works for you and me. For people who are skeptical, I would suggest trying on one of their hive and comparing them to others.

My bees seem to be going thru a 2# sugar brick every week since it warmed up. I use baggies for syrup, i will have to try it for sugar patties as well. Thanks for the video!

[@silverlakeadventure]

Plastic bags work pretty good for patties plus they provide small water drops much needed in the winter. Thank you

I see that your video is sharable. Would it be ok if I used it in a group presentation to our local bee club?

[@silverlakeadventure]

Yes you can definitely share any videos. Thank you

How often during the winter do you check hives for food?

[@silverlakeadventure]

It depends of the temperature. Usually I check once a month I take a pick on top of the frames. I check them with thermal camera without disturbing them if we have cold temperatures

[@dcsblessedbees]

It is a year to keep an eyes on food.

[@silverlakeadventure]

You are right. I agree with you. We live here in Iowa since '96 never had warmer winter

[@tomkingsley4398]

Looking Good! You are providing a great educational service to those with an open mind. Thanks for sharing.
