Winter Bees Pollen & Sugar Feeding

[@JennJenn9]

13 degrees here at noon - no bees about, but enjoy seeing some birdies getting seeds off the summer flowers I left standing - it’s cool the bees pollinated in the summer and now the birds have something to eat

[@davidhaught84]

Ive been feeding the birds sunflower seeds, and suit cakes. They have been really hungry.

[@JennJenn9]

@ Nice! It’s a wonder they can survive!

Merry Christmas David! 1st year beek and hoping they survive. Double deep and did the mountain camp method for insurance.

[@davidhaught84]

Up here at a mile high, it's been 40 to 50° in the shade, thus the girls are flying around. I'm feeding them the pollen substitute and I've got some Boardman feeders with two to one sugar. They'll suck down a gallon and a half a day when the sun's out strong.

No most geese are not nice they bite😂great guards and walking squawking alarms systems thought.

[@davidhaught84]

They are grumpy. Yes they make great alarms. I see them all hours of the night coming up to eat at the comunity feeder. They must have decent night vision. I'm surprised a fox or coyote hasn't trybto get one, but they are pretty agressive. Coyote would be fighting all 8 huge geese. Lol

How often do you clean your pollen feeder if at all and does the pollen substitute have a shelf life in a feeder mine been there since October but nothing is wet just a little dry crust

[@davidhaught84]

As long as it stays dry it will be ok.
