The Bee Supply Monthly

Being able to identify a hive that is underfed is crucial for beekeepers. Watch as Blake Shook shows us evidence of a hive that was underfed and the results from it. 

A nutritionally starved hive can show up in several ways, and it doesn’t always happen when you expect it. That’s why learning to recognize the signs is so important. When you pay attention to what your colony is telling you—and step in with timely feeding when needed—you give your bees the support they need to stay healthy, strong, and growing all spring long.
