    Nice! Also your location in your bio says you're near Guelph. If i got that correct you're in a good spot for this hobby. University of Guelph is a big deal in the beekeeping game with all their youtube videos and their over-wintering prowess. I'm trying their method of overwintering a single brood box with one of my hives this year:fingerscrossed:

    Do yours go through most or all of their honey over winter? How active are they in the middle of winter where you're at?

    Pretty active , we get maybe 3-4 days of cold and then it’s back at them. I have notice a brood break in most , Florida is funny I haven’t kept bees any where else. I can start my build up in December and get ready to make splits around February 2nd week.

    Late post this was like a month ago. This is my Apimaye hive. I always like seeing the hives with lots of snow on top because it looks like a little house c:

    While I'm not a beekeeper, one of my childhood friends is. And he is INTO it! :thumbsup:
    Can't wait for some of this year's honey.
