Synopsis

Excerpt from Wintering Bees in Canada

Canada every winter large numbers of colonies which a little more care and better management would have saved. In addition, many more are so seriously weakened, also through lack of care, that they fail to build up in time for the main honey flow. It is far better to give the bees the necessary care in the fall than it is to find empty and depleted hives in the spring and making the bees that survive spend the best part of the summer in filling them again. The remarkably high yields of first-grade honey in most parts of Canada should offer enough financial inducement to prepare the bees for the winter with the utmost care. To put off the preparation until the cold weather has arrived is to court disaster, because exposing the bees to cold early in the winter and disturbing them during the cold weather are injurious.

The long, cold winter in most parts of Canada is not so hard on bees as might be imagined; and in some respects wintering is easier than in a milder climate. This is because the bees rest more completely during the winter months instead of wearing themselves out with useless activity. Few conditions are harder on the bees than very mild weather during the late winter when they wear themselves out and die by the thousands trying to raise a little brood and flying out to it the early flowers in chilly and changeable weather. These conditions occur to some extent on Vancouver island. In most parts of Canada, however, the winter rest continues until sometime in April. Then come quickly the long warm days; the bees build up rapidly; and the colonies become strong in a remarkably short time.
