Hi, I am a fairly new hobby beekeeper, living in Manitoba, canada. Spring has come far too early this year and I am quite worried about my bees! Generally I winter them indoors and they do very well. This year spring has come so early with the temperatures getting up to +16 today I have had to put the bees outside already. The weathermen are predicting a snowfall for the end of this week, and who knows if it will be a heavy one or not! I am wondering if a heavy snow fall should hurt them? Will it make my winter losses any higher, or should I move them back inside just in case?
Please give me some advice on what to do!
Thanks!
Jan
