When it's winter here on the eastern shore of Maryland we provide supplemental feed for our honeybee colonies. We don't like to crack open our colonies in order to keep the propolis envelop intact and use methods such as open feeding to provide the necessary resources during a winter dearth.
TOOLS WE USE
Mann Lake FD210 Ultra Bee Dry Feed Pail, 10-Pound :

Remember beekeeping is local, our videos outline are what works for us and are not intended to be a prescription for your bee colonies or how to operate your apiary. Although these concepts are generally endorsed by many beekeepers you have to listen, watch, and learn from your bees as well as other resources in the craft of beekeeping.

I'm in Southeastern Pa. I'm in no way ready to be stimulating the bees to ramp up brood production. You're a bit more south than I am and probably can do this. But up here we haven't gone through half the cold time of winter yet. Too much brood now would mean reduced food resources for the cold and also potential chilled brood if and when the cold comes back. The clusters won't be able to maintain the brood and we'll lose it. Just another waste of resources the bees will need in the coming six weeks. I'll be considering stimulating at around the third or fourth week of February if the temperature permits.

It's too early in Canada for open feeding. My bees are still under a mountain of snow. I did engineer top insulation that's designed to let me feed the bees fondant with minimal heat losses and last I checked all hives were alive. One did seem weak, hopefully the fondant will provide enough energy to keep em going. Those insulation/feeder are pretty simple: a foam box with the dimensions of a super, hardware cloth to support the fondant and 3 layers of 2 inch foam board. The top 2 can be removed, and the bottom one has a removable insert for the fondant. Giving the thing roughly R60 Insulation on top, combined with side blankets and a mirror bubblewrap beanie.

Greetings from the North East of England. Nice video, my bees are stupid as they seem to think it's spring, I'm feeding them three quarters fondant and one quarter pollen substitute that doesn't contain sugar. I can't feed open pollen substitute as my dogs love it, they will take a couple of stings for free food.

I pretty much killed off a nuc yard feeding dry sup in the late fall.. it's fine if they use it right away but if they store it turns into a bad thing . Ian clearly warned me about that..

This time of year in Pennsylvania and Maryland witch hazel is blooming especially with the warmer temps we are experiencing. I also have some pussy willow starting to break bud here in south central PA.

we also see some witch hazel here on eastern shore of MD. Just not enough to subsidize the volume of colonies we have in our apiary (area)
