Don't Spring Too Early

As I've been saying, it has not yet actually been winter in my part of Southern Maryland and it's already March. With our daytime temps in the 45 -70 degree range, it's tempting to want to begin feeding sugar syrup. But no matter where you live and how lovely your daytime temperature may be, remember that your night time temps must be consistently above 45 degrees to feed syrup. We're still just above freezing some nights.

Be patient, my beekeeping friends! Spring will be here any time now!
