[QUOTE="Dave Black, post: 973, member: 200"] Yes, while making sure they have enough food and labour to survive (x) number of weeks. And no, honey is not always the best winter fuel. Lots of honeys can contain proteins and sugars not ideal for confined bees. Purified sugar syrups have their place, but you must feed them while they bees can process them and not leave it until the cold nights turn up. But this thread is about the bees storing honey so let's leave it there. [/QUOTE]
