Bees Must Be Kept Warm By State Inspector
Michigan beekeepers are urged to protect colonies from cold by maintaining hive temperatures above 47 degrees Fahrenheit. Adequate heat reduces winter losses, lowers honey consumption, and prevents dysentery and foul brood. Feed bees sugar syrup with tartaric acid, avoid honey, and winter weak or diseased colonies separately to prevent spread.
