Jon and I just finished loading up 20 supers for extracting. My friend Yolands is taking them to her place for extracting. I can't wait to see how much we get.
Now the bees are back in the two deeps and looking a little crowded.
So much easier to work them now!
Next up: getting ready for winter. Hard to think about when it's almost 90 degrees but I have to get these hives in good shape before the cold hits. Two of the hives have low mite counts and look nice but #2 is high and the queen is either MIA or on vacation. I didn't see any eggs or open brood yesterday. Yikes. Time to treat those mites and figure out if that hive is queen right or not. Drone production is way down already so I can't trust the hive to re-queen itself..... There's always something to worry about!
