I know that bees aren’t fond of rain, but will they go out and forage in weather like we had yesterday and has been forecasted for today?  The reason I ask is that with the honey flow we had not planned to continue feeding our 4 new hives.  They seemed to be doing well –capped and uncapped brood, honey stores etc…Is it a mistake not to try to replenish sugar water stores in the next day or so??

 

Thanks for the help/advice!
