Beekeeping in Winter

Beekeeping in Winter

Bee and bee sphere.

Winter in the bee farm.

In the warmth of the bee sphere.

The bees form a ball around their queen and generate heat by continuously flapping their wings. Almost 30 degrees.

They consume a lot of energy, especially in cases where the cold is intense and prolonged.

That is why their honey is so important.

For the proteins and carbohydrates they need.

After all, they store their honey for these cold winter days.

Days when flowering is almost non-existent and outdoor flights are minimal due to weather conditions.

In proper beekeeping, the beekeeper must always leave them a significant amount for the cold days of winter (ideally, more than what he takes from them) and not dry out the hive during harvest and replace the honey with artificial foods.
