Feeding honey to bees in a Top Bar Hive in winter.

Posted on July 3, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

With Top Bar Hives, sometimes a problem develops in winter where the bees must stay in a cluster to keep the queen and brood warm. Here in the Upper Midwest, that is most every winter day. That being said, the bees will starve themselves rather than risk moving over bars to get the honey they made that summer. And if they did try to get their honey alone, they would die on the comb within seconds. So, I guess they are kind of smart to stay in cluster don’t you think? Oh well, that aside, this video outlines the process I use to get honey directly to where the bees are without risking their precious lives.

www.biobees.com When honeybees decide that their queen is not good enough, they make themselves a new one. This usually happens either early or late in the season. This video by Phil Chandler shows an early season supersedure cell in a top bar hive, showing how little the bees need to be disturbed compared with opening a conventional hive.
