Winter care of bees saves colonies through feeding and shelter
US Department of Agriculture bee specialists warn winter losses of colonies from 10 to 50 percent can be cut to under 1 percent. They urge proper hive protection, insulation, and quality winter stores, advising a 6 inch surrounding box filled with dry insulating material and controlled temperature around 57 degrees to keep bees dormant and conserve energy. Feeding about 10 pounds of syrup or adjusting stores with honey and gums help prevent rapid waste buildup and ensure survival into spring.
