Fact: Honey Bees survive off the honey they have stored throughout the year.
Hint: It is our responsibility to leave them enough honey to make it through the winter. We're talking anywhere from 60-100lbs of honey!
Help: Supplemental feeding by the beekeeper is sometimes necessary if their supply is too low.
