They are supposed to go into this winter with at least 40-60 pounds of honey. Welp, they got none. Done gone and ate it.
Not quite sure why, not really thinking they were supposed to do it now and already. But they did so here's how I counter acted.
Courtesy of Duff from Ace of Cakes and the craft store Michael's I bought this Duff fondant to give the bee's as feed for winter. The Carniolans have been still drinking the sugar syrup and seemed to be pleased at the buttercream flavor this fondant had.....but we will see. I'm not betting on these guys ahem gals making it. If they do it will be one more surprise these bee's have thrown at me.
Next week will be warm so I'll give them another looksee- but after that its a close up for winter and hopefully see you in the spring.
On a brighter note; they look beautifully healthy:)
