30 degrees (F) this AM. I've been open feeding 2-1 syrup for two weeks (they're just now starting to take it fast). Feeding can/does prevent starvation. Today I will also place some 'dry' pollen out.
The goldenrod is nearly done up here with little more than the 'dreaded' mexican bamboo providing nutition for my bees, they love it a lot.
This is the end of our season. Wrap up time for my colonies is coming (too) soon.
