Winter is Coming
Although it is warm out and we are still finishing up our summer, the bees have been thinking about winter since June 21, the summer equinox. Days are getting shorter and they are trying to get ready to make it through the winter. Check your mite levels to make sure you are keeping them under control and your colonies are staying healthy. Feed them if they are low on stores. There isn't much for them to gather during the summer, so some colonies will eat through their reserves before fall even arrives. You want to make sure they have enough to eat all the way through until the nectar flow starts again next spring.
If there is anything you need for a successful over-wintering of your colonies, reach out to us
