I have a small single hive with virtually no stores, believe they have been robbed out by the strong hive next door. I am planing to feed these fondant all winter to get them through. Is there a chance of them surviving the winter or am I wasting my time?
Put some jaguar poison down, it has holes in so you nail it to a piece of wood stopping it being carried off and then cover it. It will certainly kill any rats around.
People asking basic questions may annoy some people but that does not give anyone the right to attack them. I dont know anyone on here who would ever give wrong information on purpose. This I believe is a beekeeping forum and as such would expect people to be civil.
