Anne, we've had an unusually early spring here in eastern Nebraska. Here's what I've done so far on a 70-degree day earlier this month: 1) checked over-wintered food supply and new brood pattern. 2) scraped off bottom boards and excess burr comb around frames. 3) reversed hive bodies on four of our five hives -- the fifth still had quite a bit of brood in the bottom hive body. 4) began feeding 1:1 sugar water.(posted 9637 days ago)If it warms back up into the 60s this weekend as forecast, I'll begin dusting with Terramycin and switch to sugar-water feed mixed with Fumidil B. (By the way, if you haven't tried it, a neat little trick I learned is to mix some food coloring with the medicated sugar water so if your bees store any, you can identify it.) So far I've been able to get by only using Apistan strips in the fall after taking off the supers. Good luck with your hives.
