❄️🐝❄️Our Beekeeper's To-Do list this week❄️🐝❄️:

• Check that the colony is actually flying and not being robbed
• On warm days look for pollen coming in
• Check for rodents seeking warmth
• Check for woodpecker holes
• Check the hive floor for evidence of cappings as the queen may have started laying:
o If she is laying open-top super to make sure that the cluster has access to food stores, as they will be reluctant to leave the brood at this time of year.
o DON’T OPEN HIVE FOR LONG IN COLD WEATHER
