Hi All, My hives have an eek to hold the tray of apiguard and a feeder on top of the eek. On two of my hives when l went to take off the eek and feeder the bees had packed stores underneath the feeders completely filling the eek. It would be very messy to take off both feeder and eek and clean away the honey in the eek so would it be ok to leave both on over the winter and when the spring comes get rid of them. The feeders are Ashforth feeders so l could fill them with some type of insulation to help keep in the heat trough the winter. The Autumn in Tipp has been very good for bee foraging and all the hives are packed with stores even today the hives seemed as busy as they were during the summer with some new bees out finding their wings.
