With the expected temperatures in the upper 60's later this week take advantage. This will be a good opportunity to feed if you feel the need to do so. Either feed heavy syrup of supply some homemade fondit just to provide them a lift here in the middle of the duldrums. Make sure the syrup is thick as you do not want to increase the moisture level inside the hive at this time of year with extra water. If you have left over honey this is a good opportunity to use that up. Greg and Debbie indicated that they witnessed flight yesterday from their hives. The bees take this opportunity to deposit outside the hive for a change. They may also get lucky and find something to forage upon. The photo is of a Harry Lauder Walking Stick which will begin to flower in late January or early February.
Other news the acquisition of speakers is going very well and I have hit all targets and dates that we discussed at our last meeting. I will be sending a calender of events out shortly when all are finalized.
