Greetings,
This is my first winter with bees and I just did a brief inspection of my two colonies. I've wintered both colonies with three(3) deep supers/bodies. The weaker colony cluster is located in the middle super and I am not concerned about it. However, on the stronger colony the bees are in the top super up to the inner cover. There are several frames of honey on both sides of the cluster. My question is will I need to feed these bees or rearrange the frames? I saved several unextracted frames of honey and still have them in the freezer. Currently it is 35 degrees F and sunny. A relatively warm day in northcentral Pennsylvania. However I did not think it was warm enough to extensively manipulate the colony. Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
