Hi everyone Chile is burning as you probably have seen in the News. Around 500.000 hectares are already burned and probably a lot more will be lost in the next weeks. Lots of international help is arriving but the drought and lots of forest plantations make everything more difficult. So far we - my family and my bees - are safe but I am really worried about my colleagues that either have lots everything (hives, trucks, honeyhouse, barns, etc) or have lots the floral resources around their hives Chile is very similar to California but upside down, north is south - south is north. Therefore as we are in summer rains will come in a some 3 to 4 months and those bees won't have the resources to survive. What to do? How to feed? what to feed? Is it rational to try to do something or it is better to start fresh next spring? Please help with the brainstorming for me to decide how to help my colleagues.
