Almost at the end of November, and it is still a warm breezy 80 degrees today here in Austin, TX. Typical of Texas weather. On the flip side, I see several species of plants still in bloom. So pollen and nectar are still coming into the hives. And while the warm weather is still here, I will take the opportunity to feed the hives that I feel are light. So don’t forget your fall feeding, and use the warm weather to give them warm syrup. Bees just won’t take bitter cold feed.
