Fall is here. Colors are beautiful, the days are getting shorter and the bees are getting ready for winter.
Yuck! Got some wax moth damage. This frame will go in the freezer.
The bees are still flying a little when they can if they get a break from the rain and the wind but the days are pretty short. I'm done feeding and all three hives are up over 100lbs. I thought I was going to over-winter a nuc but hive #3 went queenless out of the blue a couple of weeks ago so I combined it with the nuc. There's not much left to do other than pull the Apivar strips out next week and put the insulating boxes on top after it really gets cold.
