Month-by-month - March

Winter, so far, is not as bad as if could be. January was especially unstable (Northeast) with periods of subzero temperatures with lots of snow and periods with temperatures above normal, reaching some days near the mid forties, Rain and high humidify may cause some problems inside the hive. The best protection is good ventilation of the hive, However, these above normal temperatures allow clustering bees to move towards unused stores of honey and pollen which is important, because colonies are already raising brood.
