​What your bees are doing

Picture
What are the bees doing?
  1. Hives/colonies are in full bloom as the flowers are too. 
  2. Gathering nectar, pollen and propolis. 
  3. Queen is laying, Drones are looking for queens to mate with and workers are foraging, nursing and making honey. 
  4. Worker bees might be preparing to supersede their queen....or even swarm with their queen.

What you should be doing

Picture
BE A MITE BUSTER

  1. Inspecting your hives for the following: Mite levels, healthy queen and space for honey production and room for expanding colonies. 
  2. Make sure your bees have a water source...soon it will get really hot and the bees need the water to help make honey and keep the hive cool. 
  3. Use the Honey Bee Health Coalition Varroa Management Tool to help you make decisions on how to treat your bees from mite infestation. There are really great learning videos on this site also.  
  4. Keep learning...the bees will thank you for being a bee keeper not a bee haver.
