NewBee Fundamentals
Midsummer is so changeable. Oftentimes, July brings hot, dry times.
This year it's been variable temps with LOTS of rain (so far). We'll
talk about how to assess your colonies' well-being through the varying
weather trends, as well as look toward mite treatment options that will
be coming due a little later on in summer as a first step in - yikes! -
winter preparation. We'll also review some inspection tips and
techniques, and review the things to look for in (almost) every
inspection. Plenty of opportunity for Q & A, as always, so please feel
free to email any topics / questions ahead to ljhuston3@charter.net, or
just bring them to the session and join the discussion.

Special Topics

While we enjoy modern amenities like air conditioning in our homes, bees aren’t quite as fortunate. During July’s hot and humid days, you may notice bees resting outside of the hive. Don’t be alarmed, this is just their way of cooling off. We will talk about ventilation options, water sources, hive size openings, bearding vs. swarming and the potential for robbing. Mite monitoring will also be reviewed as well as supering.
