nostr:npub16eumpaxffppswucpeysysrya9uk39j06d5gr2tsnf6cupq3f4jdqyft6jc hope your bees are enjoying this cold snap. I was not prepared for 32 weather. 0 for you crazy metric using people

Our honey tanks are Polish, therefore metric, so we have to convert. The bees are less mobile but still flying. We are feeding them sugar water. They are mostly foraging for pollen sources, since most nectar sources are negligible at this time of year.

wife and i been looking into winter blooming plants to supplement and as a nice to see in the colder seasons

Wonderful! Wild turnips (brassicas) are one of the best, extended pollen sources for pollinators, plus a good cover crop. Hairy vetch, another good cover crop. Not sure if they work in snowy climes…
