Feed
,After [[harvest|harvesting ]] the honey, the bees have to be given a substitute food source. It is important to supply the bees with food immediately after harvesting the honey in order to avoid "panic" and hunger in the bee hive. At the same time it is not wise at this time point to give too much food at once. If there is too much food available, the bees will use all available space for honey storage and not leave enough space for the queen to lay the eggs for the [[winter bees]].
Harvesting and thus feeding usually happens between the last two weeks of August and the first two weeks of September. This timing will of course vary considerably with geographic location and vegetation type.
