Winter is Here
|
Now that winter has arrived, we hope you prepared your bees for the winter weather ahead, utilizing candy boards, robbing screens and quilt boxes.
During the winter is a great time to get ready for spring by building and painting new equipment so you are ready to go when the bees are. Think ahead about additional hives you want to start or split a hive into a nuc box. Better to have it ready and not need it than to watch a swarm leave your hive that you weren't prepared for. |
Keep an eye on your bees this winter. If they are running low on food reserves, you can always put some fondant in the hive to make sure they make it until the spring blooms.
|
Winter is when the hive will be broodless for a short period of time. This is an opportunity to do an oxalic acid vaporization to knock down the mites one last time for winter using the Johno's Easy Vap.
