In eastern NC it's been fairly cold (but sunny) lately; I refrained from feeding my Girls the 2:1 in their hives -- didn't want to compromise any larvae with cold-exposure.
OK: today has gone into the 60's (OK to open the hives briefly with that, I think), but .... there's intermittent rain. I'm sure the Girls wouldn't like to be disturbed now, but after today we're back to sunny-but-cold.
What's the best way to go with this? Should I risk not feeding them? Or ... take a chance on getting chow to 'em even if they lose a blanket of needed warm air?!
Thx for any feedback .....
