There are some things we beekeepers can do to support our bees before the first frost arrives. Remember, even if we help our bees prepare for winter, too much disturbance can be detrimental to the bees.The main task of bees in the winter is to keep the hive warm through the winter. When temperatures drop, bees retreat to their hives and form a winter cluster to keep warm. The main reasons for the loss of winter colonies are starvation, tile mite infestation and excess moisture in the hive. All of these can be managed by the beekeeper. Hive overwintering is done in the fall and consists of several steps that will help your bees successfully survive the winter.1, Make sure you have inspected and treated your colonies for tile mites.2, Combine weaker colonies as weaker colonies will not survive the winter.3, Check your bees' food stores and feed them in preparation for winter.4, Remove unnecessary space in the hive. Allow bees to overwinter in the smallest possible space by removing empty boxes. This will prevent heat from spreading and prevent the bees from wasting unnecessary energy in heating the hive.5. If your hive is located in a windy area, a wind buffer will help regulate the temperature inside the hive6, Use an entrance reducer to reduce the size of the hive entrance. This helps ward off opportunists who want to rob the hive.7, When bees congregate, they generate heat. As the heat rises, condensation occurs, which can cause (sometimes freezing) water to drip down onto the bees. To stop this happening, an airflow system is needed.
