Show KEEP 15 EES 15ETTEK Even if a colony of bees is strong at this time, it cannot be expected to. go through the winter well in -the North unless it now has a good young queen, so that plenty of young bees will be reared to live through the winter. All old bees which have worked through the summer win soon die. Any colony which does not have at toast 30 pounds of honey and the hive full of young bees when cool weather comes should be united with some other colon' of the same kind, or with a stronger one. Most winter win-ter loss is caused by poor fall management. |
