My nuc has grown from 3 frames to a full hive filling my national brood box with bees and 7 supers. I have taken 3 frames of capped honey leaving 5 frames of partly capped.
Now I want these bees to survive the winter, do keep the super on? if I do, then how do I feed them for the winter?
hi Got the bees home ok, only had 6 of them on the back window. Settled them in their corner. Just check on them this morning and there flying around and some are coming home with food we still got alot of flowers are us and all in the rain good girls.
