I do want bees that take care of themselves for the most part but I also invested a bunch of time and money into new queens this year that I want to live through the winter! I decided not to wrap them this year so I guess that is in the right lazy direction =)Mark Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17761362453988783369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425792320147959846.post-38397508100304511792015-11-23T09:58:05.610-08:002015-11-23T09:58:05.610-08:00Looks great!

Every time I start making my winterizing list, I have to remind myself to follow Michael Bush's advice and do as little as possible. Lazy beekeeping is a good goal. Better to have good bees that require little babying. This year I put quilt boxes on above the sugar and I really need to get out there to put up some wind block. I combined robber screens with the mouse guards this year and I hope it works. Other than that, they're on their own. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01041356917989003119noreply@blogger.com
