Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wintering of honey bee colonies in an environmentally controlled building was undertaken using various hive preparations. The size of the hive to be wintered, the age of the queen and the food given to the bees in the fall were examined. No significant differences were found in the rate at which food was consumed by the bees between treatments with single chambered hives or between treatments with double chambered hives. However, the bees in double chambered hives consumed more food over the winter storage period than did the bees in single chambered hives. Syrup appeared to be a good substitute for honey as a winter food for the bees. Nosema disease occurred in many of the wintered hives, with the majority of the hives sampled having infections ranging from 0-10%. No correlation was found between the hive treatments and the occurrence of Nosema apis. Dead bees infected with N. apis were found to contaminate a water supply. especially if the bees were heavily infected. Water consumption by the bees during the winter storage period was extremely variable. It was found that many colonies consumed water, but that the level of nosema infection in the colonies had no bearing on the amount consumed. Honey bees wintered indoors yielded colonies the following year which were similar in population to those wintered outdoors. The requeening of some of the colonies was done too late in the year to be successfully evaluated. The drifting and loss of honey bees after they were removed winter quarters was examined. Drifting occurred in both an eastward and westward direction, with no pattern being evident. The loss of bees from the hives was initially quite substantial, but lessened with time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insulated indoor wintering facility was built to accommodate up to five hundred and twenty single brood chamber hives. The building contained four separate chambers, each individually heated and ventilated. Two hundred and twenty-five colonies were prepared and wintered indoors; seventy-five colonies in each of the three chambers during the winter of 1976-77. A variety of treatments were used to test the effects of colony size, time of requeening, and food supplies on winter survival of honey bee colonies. Data were collected on colony weight loss and colony mortality during the winter. Treatment did not have a significant effect on mortality. There was no significant difference in morality among the six treatments performed. There were significant differences in weight loss among the treatments and groups prepared. Differences were attributed to treatment and indoor conditions caused by the building construction and position of the hives within the building. Comparisions were made between indoor wintered colonies, outdoor wintered colonies, and package bee colonies in the following spring and summer of 1977 on the basis of brood production, adult population and honey production ... Outdoor wintered colonies had the highest brood production, largest adult populations and produced the most honey ... Samples of adult bees were taken from indoor wintered colonies, outdoor wintered colonies and package bee colonies during the spring and summer and were analyzed for Nosema disease. Indoor wintered colonies were found to have substantially higher levels of Nosema disease than outdoor or package colonies during the early spring. The level of Nosema disease decreased dramatically as the season progressed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wintering Bees: An Exhaustive Treatise of the Subject Covering Both the Outdoor and Indoor Methods The matter for this booklet is taken from the article on wintering, in the author's larger work, the A B C and X Y Z of Bee Culture. Some new matter, however, has been added, covering the subject of feeding and brood-rearing in mid-winter while the bees are in the cellar. A new chapter on the importance of windbreaks has also been added. The author now believes that a suitable form of windbreak for outdoor bees is a vital and important element in successful wintering, and has, therefore, given this phase of the matter the consideration it deserves, in this little work.
