FROM STEVE VICTORS:
"With the weather the way it is, our queens may still be in
winter mode. Once the daily high does
not exceed 40 degrees the bees neither feed well nor have brooding
activity. This is typical of Fall
behavior. I would suspect that this week
we should see activity out of the queens.
A good portion of my wintered over colonies are still in winter mode
with the proven queens well behind in their brood raising. It may well be the best bet to wait a couple
of days into the better weather pattern that has just started and see if there
are eggs being laid before replacing the queen."
In any event, Dawn Cogan should have some queens. 374-8984
