My bees are all tucked up for the winter now, I have added some Kingspan insulation on top of the crown board with a 2" hole, I have filled this with fondant. Do you think I need to check them or leave them be.

I have "hefted" the hives and think they are in reasonable shape. I am away at Xmas so won't be able to check them until January.

I am also going to try the oxalic acid vaporizer this time, so wont need to open them up to do the "trickle method"

Regards
 
They will be perfectly fine. No need to worry.
Bees usually manage to have plenty of feed this side of Christmas.
