[QUOTE="Lesgold, post: 650043, member: 9840"] Hi Mackka, The bees normally cope with the cool weather if they are nice and compact and have plenty of food. (stored honey) At this time of year, their stockpile of honey may be getting low and they could be starving. Having plenty of honey above the brood box also acts as a bit of an insulating layer and holds the heat. I wouldn’t expect much activity outside the hives in the cool country for a couple of weeks. (Depends on what’s flowering) [/QUOTE]
