I am new at this. This is my first winter and I panicked once already when I saw some dead bees, thinking the whole hive was dead.
I read all of Walt Wrights materials and he states that if one follows his "Nectar Management" by the letter the bees will supersede the queen.
I am committed to follow his steps in every way for the first two years, I want to see how much of the same I get that he had.
