Winter feeding begins when the last batch of honey is harvested. This usually happens between the last two weeks of August and the first two weeks of September. In Finland, feeding might begin as early as the end of July, if the nectar flow ends very early.
*In South-West Finland, feed is given in three portions. The total amount of 66% sugar solution amounts to 22-25 liters for one Langstroth hive body colony and 27-30 liters for two hive body colonies.*In [[Dalsland]], Sweden 12 kg sugar are given to every overwintered hive.
