i guess the weather is not really helping... hardly any rain, hardly any decent heat. Whenever i have wandered around the apiarys hardly any bees are flying.
My bees are not collecting a great deal, but they are also not consuming the honey they have, therefore they must be bringing at least enough in for their own food and brood.
if they are not starving, i would not feed (note the wise words by finman who deals with longer winters than we do!)
just because they take food, does not mean they need it. At the end of last september i started feeding, and they took a quite a lot. So much so, not only did they have enough to last the very long winter, but still had frames of food in spring.
I had to remove it (I gave it to a couple swarms) or it would have ended up in the supers this year
