September Beekeeping - Robbing, Dearth, & Getting Your Varroa Levels Under Control

Summer is ending. Days are cooler and flowers are disappearing. What are the bees up to? What should the beekeeper be doing? What am I doing? In this chat I will be talking about: - dearth - robbing - late summer blooming flowers - why your bees are cranky We'll also talk about what the beekeeper can do to help their bees this time of year including: - varroa mite management - feeding - consolidating the hive - small hive beetles As always, come with questions. THANK YOU to our sponsor, Galena Farms. They are my favorite place to go to for wooden beekeeping equipment. The ELi & Ezra hives are my absolute favorite. Made from eastern white pine in Galena, Ohio.
