Another essential piece of info to supply is which race of bee does
your experience/practice etc apply to.
 
My Carniolans are now ready for the winter having had their number of
frames reduced and been fed with sugar syrup (12 kg sugar per hive).
I dont expect to see them out again now until the end of March at the
earliest. No snow yet, but it wont be long!
