My bees are out today, with temperatures in the 60's this doesn't surprise me. What surprised me - the last baggie of sugar water I put on the hive for feeding had some left inside it. Apparently the bees didn't need it all. That's a good thing.
With weird weather, and having a track record of losing hives, I opted to put another baggie of 2:1 on the hive just now. I want to make darn sure that they don't starve this year. Tomorrow's temps should be near 70 (seriously, it's winter people). And it may be raining. So if the bees are stuck inside the hive, they can focus on storing the sugar water I've introduced today.
Keep crossing your fingers for me. I can't bear to lose another hive.
