Robbing Screens ~ When to remove for winter months?
« on: November 16, 2014, 05:46:09 pm »
I'm guessing that if the bees are starting to hunker down, they didn't come out at all today, that it's safe to take off the robbing screens?

Yes, the bees are still taking syrup, 1/2 pint to a full pint a day.

daytime temps are 40-45 now.
