Categories: FEEDING.
Bee Keeping: Mysteries Of Bee-keeping Explained

If it is wished to wait as long as possible, and not lose the bees, a

test will be necessary to decide how long it will do to delay feeding.

In this case, _strict attention will be necessary; they will need

examination every morning_. If a light tap on the hive is answered b; a

brisk, lively buzzing, they are not suffering yet; but if no answer is

returned to your inquiry, it indicates a want of strength. Extreme

destitution destroys all disposition to repel an attack. Sometimes a

part of the bees will be too weak to remain among the combs, and will

be lying on the bottom, and some few outside. If the weather is cool,

they appear to be lifeless; yet they can be revived, and now _must he

fed_.
