i 'Sees Nay Starve
Unless Cared For
Dead don't store honey.
So, if you want a honey crop
tnis year, Mr. Farmer, you’d bet
[ ter be sure your bees don’t die
of starvation.
This is pointed out by W. A.
Stephen, beekeeping specialist for
the State College Extension Ser
vice, who says strong colonies are
the ones that make the honey
crop.
“'From'now until we get that
crop we must guard against star
vation,” asserts the specialist.
Stephen says mild weather has
caused brood-rearing to start
much earlier this year than usual.
For the beekeeper this means
many more young bees for the
early honey flow, but it also
means heavy consumption of the
food stores that were intended
to winter the colonies.
The beekeeper must watch to
see that these stores don't run too
low. There should never be less
than 15 to 20 pounds of honey
in the hive at any one time.
If the stores get lower than this,
Stephen suggests, the bees should
be fed sugar and syrup made up
of two part's sugar to one part of
boiling water.
“Brood rearing requires a lot I
of food,” says the specialist. “It I
would be quite possible for the !
bees to starve before the bee-1
keeper became aware of a short- i
age of food.”
