So Far So Good

So far my small hive#3 is hanging in there.
The weather has gotten down to the low 30's. But, they are still in the hive buzzing around.
Had to put some sugar syrup in the top of the hive to help out. I really want to see them make the winter
and turn that little hive into a much larger hive in the Spring.
It's been fun starting my hives this year...

My Bees This Winter

Checked on my bees this time while home off the road.
They are looking pretty good so far but, the real cold hasn't hit this area as of yet..
Had to put an inside feeder in Box#3. The smallest hive of the three.
They are my latest hive and was put out later then the others this year. By feeding them
I am hoping they survive the Winter and become a good honey producing hive for me.
My plans are to split my hives and add a few more shortly after Spring hits...
