In areas with good late season honey flows, beekeepers might mostly get away with assuming their bees have enough honey, but that would ruin a beekeeper around here in a hurry.<br />Thanks!Eric & Melissa Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11227451741580700597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8942264005108679386.post-86823214460690478162010-12-01T19:36:58.412-08:002010-12-01T19:36:58.412-08:00Definitely do not assume your bees have enough hon...Definitely do not assume your bees have enough honey. I was shocked to lose a hive last winter, evidently to starvation. I was stunned since I'd never had that problem before. Of course I was very angry at myself (still am) for not realizing they didn't have enough honey.<br /><br />Love your blog...<br /><br />peaceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
