I've still got 2 feet of snow on the ground, and have not had a day above 35 since December. Consequently, I have not done any winter inspections, on my five hives.
According to bloom dates I was told, this weekend will put me about 6 weeks out from the dandelion start. I want to put some pollen patties on and check for honey stores. If any hives are running out will do some emergency feeding.
It’s going to be a pain getting thru the snow, but I can check this weekend. However, the temps are only going to be max 39-40deg. Think I am okay to put patties on – or should I wait a week until warmer weather?
Tks
