This is probably a dumb question but, .....
After the mysterious disappearance of our bees over the "winter" we ordered two nucs as replacements to start over. They won't be available for pick up until April 28th. Due to the warm weather I may be harvesting fruit by that time. The blueberries, cherry trees, plum tree, spring weeds and nearly every tree are blooming. Will the bees be able to build up enough food stores if it's already summer by May in order to survive next winter.....if there is one?
