Warm weather require greater monitoring of stores?

Why not, no two colonies are the same, I must admit I don't usually feed in the winter but this year is an exceptionally warm winter and bees are flying more days than previous years, even Mr Finman has fed in the winter I'm sure, the thing is not to over feed as you need empty frames for the queen to lay in come spring. I have removed stores and given drawn comb in the spring but not so much now with 14x12 BB's

Well said Redwood.
