Summer Dearth
As the nectar flow goes away, in central Virginia we enter the "summer dearth" which is characterized by limited resources for the bees. Nectar is no longer readily available and many beekeepers are feeding their bees to keep them healthy after pulling their honey supers. Additionally, the bees are getting defensive of what stores are left, and may need some assistance defending their hive. Honey and the Hive's Robbing/Moving Screens help weaker colonies defend themselves against robbing from stronger colonies near by. Don't wait until it is too late.
