Overwintering Bee Colonies Proves Viable In Prairie Provinces
Experiments at the Experimental Farm Brandon Manitoba over twenty years show wintered colonies consume about 35 pounds of honey from autumn feeding to spring return. Seven year data indicate wintered colonies average 152 pounds honey produced versus 137 for package colonies. Results suggest spring division of two portions with little impact on parents and potential 100 percent increase with extra queens. Overwintering can reduce annual cash outlay and be done outdoors with proper protection or in a good cellar. Bees may be obtained from the experimental farms.
