Title: Bee's Shutting up shop for the winter
Post by: steveouk on December 07, 2008, 03:04:52 PM
Thought some people would like to see what happens during the winter when the bee's fill gaps with propolis

This whole us used for ventilation during the summer months but the bee's have started filling it at a rapid rate.

Steve, nice picture going on there.  I would be inclined to help them a little and fill it in for them, they obviously are working hard to shut it up, just my two cents, smiling....have that best day, life, love our life, health.  Cindi
