I currently belong to the Southeastern Michigan Beekeepers Association. I'm not sure if there is a local club in Monroe or not. You may want to contact the County Agriculture Extension office to find out if they have many information regarding local beekeeper organizations.

I am pleasantly surprised to hear that they have continued to build comb and stored honey this late in the season. Will the population be sufficient to fill one or two hive bodies for the winter months? I am located in your neighborhood, presently have 3 hives, and know I am a novice after keeping bees for the past 12 years. Do you belong to any of the beekeeper associations? Do you know if there is a club in Monroe County? Should there be a club in Monroe County? Sounds like success!

They have consumed about 30 pounds or so of syrup and look fine. They have stored up a lot of honey and have built some new comb, those are good signs that they have regained some strength. I'll post an update now and then on their progress. Bob Hi Chris, I checked the bees yesterday and topped off their sugar syrup. They have consumed about 30 pounds or so of syrup and look fine.

I think it is because they are forced to bloom outside of their normal blossoming time and that confuses them as you say. I would re-plant the bulb and mulch it well to protect it from your harsh winter. That way it will know what season it is when it warms back up in the spring. Best of luck to you.

I dug it up and brought it in. I realize now it is an Easter Lily. Is it confused? It surely would die before bloom. It has a beautiful healthy bulb with babies, which I planted in another pot. Did I do the right thing to bring it in before frost and winter months. I would think it should have bloomed in late July. Maybe I should replant the baby bulbs back outside? Thanks for any help.
