Hey everyone, we are David and Sheri Burns at Long Lane Honey Bee Farms, www.honeybeesonline.com
Today is October 1st and cooler weather is being enjoyed throughout much of the US.
Bees are not as active in colder areas of the US and need to be feed. Now is the time to make your last minute preparations for winter. Today, I've made a new video on taking off your supers and queen excluders in preparation for winter.
Also, something new I've added to my beekeeping videos is known as "Coffee Time", a time for us to just sit down and chat about life in general. It has been a big hit. Some people are watching my videos just for "Coffee Time".
Watch my new video below just published, and please subscribe and click on the bell so you'll be notified each time I make a new video.

Can You Feed Your Bees Too Much?
The simple answer is no. During spring and most of summer bees have an unlimited supply of nectar. More nectar is available to bees in spring and summer than what you can provide in a jar. However, bees are crazy about storing up everything they can get their hands on, so it is possible they can run out of room. This happens naturally in the spring without you feeding them and they sometimes swarm. Fortunately when we feed bees in the fall, their swarm instinct is gone. Our job is to feed our hives and give them room to grow and store!
