I personally overwinter with two hive bodies (preferably completely full of honey in the Fall). I find that usually gives them enough food to make it through March when the natural food becomes available. I find this gets them going earlier in the Spring. When doing a single box, you'll want to have a race of bees that aren't particularly quick with the spring build up (starting raising brood in Feb and starving), and that have a smaller winter cluster. You probably should check stores monthly during the winter as well. </P> </blockquote><br>
