Sounds like a lot of exitement!<br /><br />Do keep us posted on how the nuc over-winters. I've been wondering what the survival rates of nucs are over winter, especially late summer/fall splits or even swarm captures. Obviously syrup or fondont could be provided for food, but I wonder at what point there are enough bees to keep warm vs. not enough to keep warm.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.littlehouseonthebighill.com/beekeeping" rel="nofollow">Show Me The Honey Blog</a>Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612958852770385279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-51885399024577228572013-09-10T11:48:03.840-04:002013-09-10T11:48:03.840-04:00I would give them only one or two big portions of ...I would give them only one or two big portions of syrup. It is better to end with the winter feeding soon.

Ma...Wow, that was a superhuman effort to save them. Maybe you have some advice for me. I have a Langstroth and a top bar hive. When I opened them today to put feeders in to give them a boost for the fall, the Langstroth looked good, but the top bar had hardly any honey stores. The first two frames that had been mostly brood are empty with brood added solidly to the next bar, but didn't see nearly enough honey stores to support them through the winter. I'll keep feeding them for the next few weeks, I have the feeder inside the hive box, but there's a divider board between it and the hive. so I won't have to disturb them to keep the feeder filled. I don't have any honey to give back to them, only sugar syrup, and wintergreen grease patties. Do you have any other ideas for me?Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17856593033035221473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-610353041574842062013-09-07T12:21:26.922-04:002013-09-07T12:21:26.922-04:00Wow, good news indeed.

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only beekeeper who does things and then second guesses later. Hindsight and all... Here's hoping this queen makes it through your Atlanta winter!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041356917989003119noreply@blogger.com
