Bee spring

Winter Solstice is when the days begin to get longer and the queen ramps up egg laying. With the new mouths to feed, don't let your hives starve.

""The winter solstice is a celestial milestone, marking the shortest day and longest night of the year. In 2024, the winter solstice occurs on Saturday, December 21 at 4:20 a.m. ET in the Northern Hemisphere.""

We had temperatures in the low to mid 50's the past few days. I checked on food stores and put sugar bricks on most of the colonies for peace of mind. I already had sugar bricks on a nuc and a swarm that is in a single brood box. They were working on that sugar so I added more.
