Too late feeding may carry the colony
through the winter only to dwindle out
in the spring.
A very strong colony never gets too
cold to move slowly over the comb. a
little close observation will readily prove
this to be the fact.
One advantage with large hives is that
the bees are more content, and the large
colony will get through the winter better
and make more honey in proportion.
