Autumn Feeding??

[Richard60]

Hi, I'm just wondering when I should start Autumn feeding my hives?

Autumn?

A lot depends on where you are and whats going on nectar wise and what stores they already have.
No definite answer...
If it helps mine won't be fed anything (unless short of stores) until mid-late September. I'm in North Yorkshire so my timings might not apply to where you live.
It's really a judgment call by you on what you're hives are doing.

Mine are still bringing in borage and something that gives this bright orange pollen (still haven't found it) so no feeding yet.

ive got the issue that theyre still bringing in nectar and ive removed most supers and trying to get to use apigurad

i think ill have to just remove last super (4 frames being capped now) and use api and let them take anything else coming in into brood box


sound correct?

Yes, important to get correct treatment on and also check that they have some stores in the brood box which I am sure they probably do. One of mine was very light!
