Bob H says:
"Every bee book from the days of hard winters say you need at least four
brood cycles of winter bees. I have taken bees through many Midwest
droughts. 78-79 , 85-86 , 2005-2006. to name several. I have records still
for these three and in ALL case in the second year of drought the bees only
raised two cycles of winter bees and went into winter with small clusters."
We are entering one of those dry cycles that we relate to La Niņa.
I haven't come to one of those books from the days of hard winters where it
is explain this four brood cycles of winter bees, could you please give more
details? you mean 21 x 4 days? starting the count on which date?
thanks
