Heat Wave Feeding?
During this extreme heat wave and drought, should we be feeding the bees?
I'm new, so consider that when considering my advice, hahaha. I think the bees should have collected plenty of pollen, and have enough honey stores to carry themselves through this heat wave. I don't think we need to feed them at this time. To help keep them cool, I have removed my entrance reducer and propped my outer cover.
