The window for feeding is getting smaller.
The weather forecaster from channel 5 said yesterday that we may see freezing temperatures in 7 to 10 days. As the temperatures cool off the bees will not take syrup as well as when it is in the 70's.
Now is the time to feed your bees. The weather still is favorable for feeding.
The feed of choice right now is ProSweet. The bees can take it down and don't have to convert it to honey.
Feeding sugar water, as we get later into the fall, the bees will have a harder time converting it to honey.
The next few days and into early next week the temperatures are favorable for feeding.
Any colder temperatures at this time, will not stress the bees. Winter covers don't have to be installed until November.
Make the time to feed, now, if the bees need the feed.
