Next fall I may have a deal for you.

Buy 2 gallons and get one free? You pay shipping of course!

My bees have been out flying with the warmer weather. They were even bringing in pollen Saturday and Sunday - which is really unusual for Cincinnati.

Last week I opened up the one hive (I have two) which I would consider the weaker of the two and there were a lot of active bees. I stuck in about 1 pound of winter patty feed to hedge the bets on food.

Where for the remainder of the month here is going to be in the 30's and 40's. Just need to get them through February and they should be fine. Last year I lost a hive - the queen must have died during the winter because there weren't many bees left and the only larva in the cells were drones so a worker must have started laying.

That'll cover a lot of chicken.
