The talk of bees eating a kilo of stores a week in very cold weather once they have started brooding on the Spring had me worried. I hadn't looked at my overwintered nucs for 3 weeks, but it was a bit warmer yesterday, so I checked them. I was so, so happpy to find them all alive. I'm hoping all 5 will make it through now.
I don't reckon they could eat a kilo of stores in a week. I reckon there won't be more than a couple of kilo of bees in the boxes - probably less.
It feels like time to start making up frames and thinking about how I'm going to sell them.
