[QUOTE="bighands, post: 3863, member: 50"] Yes bees still active, still bringing in some sort of nectar. Not Rata, could be Spanish heath.I moved them from Otira early March, queens had not shut down completely. They were very heavy with honey. I moved them to my wintering site. I caged one queen with a queen cage and plugged the hole up with wax. I checked after 3 weeks still in cage alive. I went back after 6 weeks and the bees had chewed through the wax to release her. No varroa treatments as the nearest beekeeper is over 8 km away so will keep you ,informed as to the varroa situation [/QUOTE]
