The Foundation for the Preservation of Honey Bees, Inc. has
announced their 2020 Essay Topic. This year’s Topic is:

Overwintering: Bee Survival through the Cold Season
Honey bees have developed special skills to overwinter in
the United States. Please discuss one of these skills and then include a
discussion about what you do to prepare your hives for winter. Include a
photo of one of your hives, either using infrared technology or showing
winter wrap, hay bales, special feeders, etc. to demonstrate how you prepare
your hives for winter.
