It is winter time and as most of you may know it is time for bees to settle in for the winter. They will forage less, if at all, and you may see some dead drones by the entrance of your hive. They are usually kicked out for the winter. Here in AZ they may swarm all year. Keep in mind to call a beekeeper if you see a swarm, since they may move into your house. I just had another call from a nice lady who is concerned for the bees, but can't afford a cut out. Unfortunately she watched them swarm and then move into her house. Enjoy this winter time while the bees hibernate somewhat
and visit my website for some new information I just learned about keeping bees from your pool or other water source. I say this with pride, "Happy Thanksgiving!"
