So, my hives consumed around 22 lbs in 4 months, or about 5 1/2 lbs per month. That number should skyrocket once brood rearing hits hard.
Hey Finski, how do those numbers compare with your climate?
Ken
We had 4 hives on balance
Consumption from 1.11. - 20.3
These are broodless months. First 3 have been measured by Seppo Korpela
Comparision lbs /month and deviation from 2,6 lbs
Carnica Lunz .....2,6 lbs ... zero point
Carnica Bantin ......3,0 ...... +15 %
Macedonica ...... 4,4 .... +69 % ......this died for over consumption
Finski h............. 3,2 +23 %
c10250 hive............5,5..........110%
