I was fiddling around my one and only hive the other day when I bumped it. The bees of course raised their voices. It was a concern to me that the majority of the bees were already in the top of the hive. I don't know if it was on account of staying warm or eating up the stores. So today after it passed 60 I opened them up to have a very quick peek. I looked at a couple frames in the top 8fm, a couple in the middle 8fd, and left the bottom one alone. The hive was wall to wall bees - with hardly any food left. There was brood and empty frames. I only checked 5 frames total maybe. So I plugged in two entrance feeders afterwards. They went to work in them pretty quick. I plan to feed 2:1 sugar/water w/ a spoon of apple cider vinegar & one of lemon juice at every opportunity for a while. One of them was kind enough to give me a sting on the forearm afterwards. They had plenty of stores going into fall. Like I've heard on here, "bees up north freeze out and bees down south starve out.
Yep, they found pollen somewhere today. Do yall see any problem with my feeding plan?
