This past winter was very mild. At first I thought the bees would finish their stores before spring was here. I even fed a few colonies earlier, now these colonies have frames that are full of honey. I tried extracting some frames earlier last week but I had no heat in the building and out of 20 frames I only extracted about 60 lbs and broke half of the frames. Outside of freezing them (too many for the freezer) is their anything else I can do with them. John Celestial Offerings, Inc. "Gifts of Nature" N.
