November: Settling in for Winter
November brings a quieter season to The Yard. As temperatures drop and flowering plants become scarce, the honeybees spend more time inside their hives, preparing for the cold months ahead.
This Month at The Yard
The colonies have been prepared for winter, with insulation and protection against the elements. Inside each hive, the bees begin forming their winter cluster, working together to maintain warmth and protect their queen.
Looking Ahead
Throughout the winter, we'll monitor the hives from the outside and keep an eye on weather conditions. When warmer days return, we'll look forward to seeing the bees take their first cleansing flights and gradually resume their activity.
