The days are short, temperatures have dropped considerably, and the bees\u2019 activity is now at its lowest. This is no longer the time for thorough inspections of the colonies: to avoid breaking up the winter cluster and risking the brood getting cold, the hives must now remain closed. The beekeeper focuses their efforts on external monitoring, managing reserves and planting for the future.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"522\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beefeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/API_Du_Mois_11_2026_Pic1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20875\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beefeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/API_Du_Mois_11_2026_Pic1.jpg 738w, https:\/\/www.beefeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/API_Du_Mois_11_2026_Pic1-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Propolis on top of frames<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the essential tasks to carry out at the apiary during November:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1.2em; text-decoration: underline;\">Securing the colonies:<\/strong> If the colony\u2019s stores prove to be insufficient, you should stop using syrup (which the bees can no longer absorb or store in cold weather). Now is the time to place bee fondant (Apifonda\u00ae) directly on the frames or above the opening in the frame cover to ensure the colonies\u2019 survival during the cold months. You can place a sheet of aluminium foil between the fondant and the frames, with access to it, to maintain good insulation for the winter cluster.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1.2em; text-decoration: underline;\">Reducing the hive\u2019s volume:<\/strong> To help the bees retain heat more easily within the winter cluster, it is advisable to make the colony more compact. By inserting a partition, you isolate the space occupied by the bees and reduce the empty volume of the hive, which limits heat loss and optimises the colony\u2019s energy consumption. Keep your colony on 5 or 6 frames if necessary and leave the honey frames on the other side of this partition, right up against the cluster.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"686\" height=\"482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beefeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/API_Du_Mois_11_2026_Pic2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20877\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beefeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/API_Du_Mois_11_2026_Pic2.jpg 686w, https:\/\/www.beefeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/API_Du_Mois_11_2026_Pic2-300x211.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 686px) 100vw, 686px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Insulating aluminium partition<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1.2em; text-decoration: underline;\">Planting for the coming season:<\/strong> November is the ideal month to prepare for spring and enrich the bees\u2019 environment.

Contrary to what one might think, it is not the worker bees who passively obey their queen\u2019s commands, but rather the entire colony that assesses its mother\u2019s health, strength and efficiency daily.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first and most important way in which bees assess their queen is through their sense of smell, using very special chemical substances known as pheromones. By regularly licking and touching their queen, the worker bees pick up this unique scent and pass it on from bee to bee throughout the hive. This scent acts as an identity card: it tells every bee that the queen is indeed present, that she is in good health and that all is well. The younger and more vigorous the queen, the stronger and more soothing her scent, which maintains calm and unity within the hive.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the bees do not rely solely on her scent; they also closely observe her egg-laying. Every day, they inspect the frames to see how the queen lays her eggs. A good queen can be recognised by her brood, which is compact and uniform, with very few empty cells: nearly 2,000 new bees in the spring! This proves to the worker bees that she is capable of renewing the population and securing the colony\u2019s future with young bees that are strong and full of energy for work.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"704\" height=\"494\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beefeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/API_Du_Mois_11_2026_Pic3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20878\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beefeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/API_Du_Mois_11_2026_Pic3.jpg 704w, https:\/\/www.beefeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/API_Du_Mois_11_2026_Pic3-300x211.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The bees come to lick the queen to retrieve the pheromones<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Conversely, if the queen begins to tire, grow old or fall ill, the warning signs soon become apparent. If the brood becomes sparse or full of gaps, or if the queen starts laying eggs haphazardly and producing drones, the bees notice this immediately. The queen\u2019s scent weakens and her performance deteriorates, sowing doubt and concern amongst the worker bees.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faced with a queen who is no longer fulfilling her role properly, the colony then takes radical measures to ensure its survival. The bees may decide to remove her (kill her) in order to rear a new one \u2013 a natural process \u2013 or prepare emergency queen cells to replace her as quickly as possible. For us beekeepers, closely observing the condition of the brood and whether the bees on the frames are calm or agitated is the best way to gauge what the colony thinks of its queen, long before we manage to spot her with our own eyes.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In autumn and winter, rest assured, egg-laying is very low or even non-existent. Don\u2019t panic \u2013 this is normal. It is in spring that you will be able to check whether the brood is compact and thus judge the quality of the queen.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The expert&#8217;s eye<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-5\" id=\"h-comment-installer-le-candi-sans-refroidir-la-ruche\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;border-radius:40px;color:#6c3b0d;background-color:#ffdb00;line-height:1.2\"><strong>How to install the bee fondant without cooling the hive<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the winter months, every time a hive is opened, there is a risk that the internal temperature will drop sharply, weakening the cluster. Here is a step-by-step guide to adding bee fondant quickly and cleanly, whilst retaining all the heat of the brood.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Preparing your equipment in advance<\/strong>: Prepare an insulated aluminium frame cover (such as an \u2018Isoruche\u2019) beforehand. Cut a hole of about 5 cm in one of the sides, which will serve as direct access to the feed.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The procedure at the apiary:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Warn the bees<\/strong>: Blow a few puffs of smoke through the hive entrance to encourage them to come down and prevent panic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Remove the frame cover:<\/strong> Take off the roof, then gently lift the original frame cover using a frame lifter whilst blowing a further wisp of smoke.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Position the insulator according to the cluster:<\/strong> Place the Isoruche directly onto the frames. Observe the position of the bee cluster: if the cluster is towards the front, orient the hole in the insulator towards the entrance. If the cluster has shifted towards the back of the hive, reverse the position and place the hole towards the rear (particularly for Nicot double-compartment feeders; otherwise, you can make the hole in the centre of the Isoruche).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Install the fondant:<\/strong> Using your frame lifter, cut and peel off the plastic film from your fondant bag. Turn it upside down and press the opening directly over the hole in the Isoruche. The bees will be able to access it immediately whilst remaining well protected by the thermal barrier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Close the hive:<\/strong> Position your feeder upside down on top to compensate for the extra thickness created by the bag. Add your top insulation, then close the hive.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check the hive every month until next March to ensure the bees always have fondant available in the bag.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"722\" height=\"558\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beefeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/API_Du_Mois_11_2026_Pic4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20879\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beefeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/API_Du_Mois_11_2026_Pic4.jpg 722w, https:\/\/www.beefeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/API_Du_Mois_11_2026_Pic4-300x232.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 722px) 100vw, 722px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Apifonda<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> pouch on an Isohive<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As usual, share your photos with us: we will publish them on our website from social networks with the hashtag: #apifonda #apiinvert! <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See you next month on your API blog with your loyal partner, Les Ruchers De Mathieu!<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"138\" src=\"https:\/\/www.beefeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LOGO-LRDM-avec-abeille-300x138.png\" alt=\"LES RUCHERS DE MATHIEU Honey & Beekeeping Shop Photos &#xA9;lesruchersdemathieu \" class=\"wp-image-10081\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.beefeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LOGO-LRDM-avec-abeille-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/www.beefeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LOGO-LRDM-avec-abeille-768x353.png 768w, https:\/\/www.beefeed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/LOGO-LRDM-avec-abeille.png 886w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>LES RUCHERS DE MATHIEU<\/strong><br\/>Miellerie & Magasin d\u2019Apiculture<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Photos \u00a9lesruchersdemathieu<\/em><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This November, temperatures have dropped and the rhythms of nature are prompting us to protect our colonies.
