Hello, I need some experienced beekeepers advice. We started with two hives last spring and thankfully thus far both have survived winter. We now have 8 frames full of capped sugar syrup, do we continue to feed (pollen patties and sugar syrup) or do we stop feeding and let them consume their stored syrup? Maybe we should remove the whole box and just feed from the hive body itself (we use a top feeder), I don't know. What do you think? Thanks so much for your time. We live in Northern Ca. and our almond trees and some fruit trees are starting to bloom. Thought I would throw that tid bit in. Thanks for your help...Shawna
