Late winter into early spring can be very difficult for the bees. Specifically in the weeks of warm weather but before we get into the nectar flow, the bees will need supplemental feeding.
Our colony has made it through the harsh low temperatures. To find them starving out mere weeks before the spring nectar flow would be a tragedy. So the best thing to do is put out sugar water mixed with a bit of pollen and perhaps some health promoting additives and get them some food. Even if you do not own bees, feeding the wild population of bees is tremendously helpful.
These are not all my bees but rather probably from a nearby wild colony in the neighborhood.
