Pollination in flowering plants is the process of moving pollen grains, which carry sperm cells, from the anthers to the stigmas of either the same flower or a separate flower.

Well after my issues with new bee keepers make mistakes. I gave them each a little pancake of Fonda made by rolling out about a kilogram of Fonda between two pieces of wax paper. I figured the wax paper was a good idea it makes it more manageable, its much easier to place it on top of the frames and it keeps the sticky mess from getting all over the frames. But I had no idea they would able to eat though that and about 2 liters of sugar syrup in 5 days. | Linda's Dream Garden

There seem to be as many different ways of combating Varroa as there are bee keepers. I found this one mentioned on Denmark bee keeper societies website.

Robbing is a term used in beekeeping. Bees from one beehive will try to rob honey from another hive. Robbing behavior is especially strong when there is little nectar in the field. Strong colonies with the largest stores are the most apt to prey upon weaker colonies. Some robbing is carried out so secretly that it escapes notice. Most of the time, when robbing is going on, one can see bees from the opposing hives fight. The fights can lead to significant losses of bees. Robbing may go on ...| Linda's Dream Garden

In winter, unlike other insects, honeybees don't go dormant.
