House Bee
Hi there,
Sorry, I know there's been a lot of questions about winter feeding, but I just need clarification on one point:
I've fed my bees 4 kgs of sugar (4pts water) in the last week. They have a half full super and about 4 frames of stores in the national brood box. I know they should overwinter with at least 20kgs of stores, and by my calculations they should have roughly 10 frames worth now (22kg).
Should I go on feeding them until they take no more? If I do this though, is there a risk they will completely stuff the bb and super and leave no room for laying?
Thanks.
