hi everybody
hope you are enjoying Spring and your bees are doing well. My 2 hives survived the winter I am happy to report, but I have not opened them yet (been busy with other farm project, and my real life work). Anyway I assume that when I open them I will find many empty frames (here where I am there is not much blossoming yet, and while they are bringing in tons of pollen I doubt they are finding much nectar). I have some frames with honey in the freezer that I would like to put in to replace some of the empty ones: I just took them out this morning. How long before I can put them in? I read 3 days in another website ... Any idea? Right now they are sitting in the basement which is about 50F. It's really warm out today and I could put them out in the sun to speed the warming up. Any suggestion?
thanks
R
