Getting into the Winter Mode

The queen has started slowing down on laying eggs.The workers are storing honey in cells where no eggs have been laid to prepare for food during the winter. In the next week or so I will take the honey supers where excess honey was stored,that I extract and bottle the honey. After the supers are taken off,then their will be only the brood box where the queen was laying eggs and young bees were being born.I will start feeding them sugar water to help them eat it instead of all their honey supplies for winter.I will feed them sugar candy or such when it starts getting real cold,to help them survive winter
