Bees and Honey Treatment For Spring Dwindling Colonies
The Senior Apiary Instructor of the Department of Agriculture notes that spring dwindling in bees results from damp winters and poor food. coastal hives suffer yeast from moisture while inland areas see natural colony die‑offs. To combat dwindling, provide comfortable colonies with syrup, stimulate feeding, and replace queenstock if a colony weakens or shows slow growth.
