Publisher's Synopsis
Be careful to check on your colony at regular intervals throughout the warmer months to ensure the queen is producing eggs, the workers are storing honey, and there is enough room for the colony to grow.
The colony stays together and consumes its honey supplies over the winter, only venturing out when temperatures rise above freezing to clean up any leftovers.
It is best to avoid inspecting the hive at this time of day so as not to waste the colony's valuable heat.
Climate, hive type, and bee species all have a role in how often and how you should check on your bees.
