i feed my hives through september and they are normally fine getting through winter.my van has been in and out of the garage and so i havent been to the out apiaries for a few weeks but all had enough winter stores at the latter part of september.on checking yesterday, all the hives are light and a couple felt nearly empty,i just hope i can get enough syrup into them before it gets too cold,its cost me around 300 in sugar so far and looks like i will be needing a lot more.[oh the joys of beekeeping]
