Feeling like autumn. Back to feeding the light hives.
Extracting honey 🍯🐝🌻
September bearding
Every year, when we use Apiguard, there is at least one absconds. Have you noticed similar behavior? This year we are using half a dose added each week, but this colony still swarmed. This had become more than a swarm though, because they had started building comb there.
Applying Apiguard.
This was a swarm capture from a few months ago. They seem set for the winter.
We had to wait for the temps to warm up enough before we could open the hives. Fall is almost here.
Second round of Apiguard mite treatment.

Inulas in the sun ☀️

The inulas are spectacular this time of the year. The tallest ones probably reach up to about 9ft high. During the winter they completely die back, which makes it easy to transplant the roots to better locations. These appear to be Inula racemosa. Do you grow inulas? The bees love them.

The hedge row elderberries are ripening up. Do you make anything with elderberries? 🍇
