february Beekeeper Tasks

  1. Weigh your hives often. A double deep hive should weigh > 100lbs. If low, bolster with honey frames or sugar boards/fondant.
  2. Place sugar boards in the hives to prevent starvation.
  3. Reduce the bees’ entrance to reduce cold air and errant yellow jackets from entering the hive.
