Winter Feeding
Winter feeding is the autumn feeding of bees after the last honey harvest with sugar syrup at a 3:2 ratio or ready-made syrup to replace the harvested honey stores. The bees process and cap the syrup in the combs for winter consumption. Adequate winter stores are essential for colony survival through the cold months.
