Planning ahead for the winter months
As some of you may know, I became a beekeeper this spring, and I've been tending my hive that grew from a small 4-frame split into a double large brood box plus a short super for honey. I haven't collected any honey this year, mostly because I wanted the hive to get a chance to grow, and now it's time to support them through the winter months with added honey, pollen patties, and love and attention. It's tempting to open the box and look at them all the time, but I'm extremely sensitive to allowing them privacy and rest during these colder times. I'll keep you posted on the hive's health as we move forward, but so far, so good, I'd say. It's been a blessing to watch the hive grow, and to see first-hand the process that allows me to be in business.
