NewBee Fundamentals
 

Labor Day is right around the corner, the unofficial end of summer! The days are already getting shorter, and the bees know it’s time to get ready for winter. As beekeepers we need to know how to “help” them get through. We’ll discuss feeding, falls nectar flows (if we get them), and how to foster healthy bees going into winter.


Special Topics
 

As the season starts to slow, it’s important to continue weekly checks on your hives. This includes looking for robbers, identifying the queen and checking for diseases and pests. During the months of August and September on the beekeeper’s calendar, colonies do the important work of building up populations to prepare for the winter, and it’s timely for us to discuss winter preparations, too. Mite monitoring will be reviewed as part of  fall prep.
