Just curious. Since the sun is now in the Southern sky, none of my beehives get a lot of sun, a couple of hours of the first morning light. The rest of the days zero. Will this be a problem?
Sunshine would help.
The lack of daylight this time of year is a given and the bees have adjusted better than we have. After all Bees never use Daylight Savings time, they use Daylight period.
As I see it the more light the bees see the more time they spend moving around and making honey. In this case more is always better. :)
During this week I cover my hives and next time they see sun in Mach. Many keep hives in cellars and they se sun in May.
