70 here today also. Hasn't been this warm on this day for over a hundred yrs. Hope your bees don't run out of food @addy!
I will need to call my neighbor and have them put more food on the hives.

Wow. I thought I put a lot of sugar in my raspberries. Not quite that much, though.

We start feeding in July, slow down in September when the fall nectar flow starts, but then feed heavy in October. I made around 200 lbs of sugar blocks for them: sugar, vinegar, probiotics, electrolytes, citric acid and some essential oils.
They are stored in the house at this moment, we put around 8 lbs on each hive before we left.

We feed them 2/1 sugar water two parts sugar one part water. A lot of boiling water made then using a paint mixer to stir and stir and stir.

48°F and we're expected to see below freezing temps tonight for the first time this season. :cold: Many 50°+ days in the forecast, though.
