I just had to get in some hives for some quick inspections today. Pollen is coming in from elms and the brood nest is starting to expand. 100% survival rate at the home yard this winter. They got a little upgrade with Apimaye bottom boards and new wax-dipped boxes (no painting, yay!).

I have honey available, if anyone is interested. Help me help the bees. 😁

I'm sometimes asked about winter prep. It's pretty simple for me. I tip the top box back to make sure there is a healthy number of bees and pull out the Varroa mite treatment that's been in since August. I let the bees keep everything they gather in the Fall, so almost all of my hives have at least 50 pounds of capped honey in the top box. After that I just install the entrance reducer and they are good to go. I'm going into winter with 31 colonies this year. Can't wait for Spring 😀.
