Nothing like loosing your password to slow the posting. Then remembering it as if it were yesterday. Need to write it down somewhere.
So, update. All the bees are dead. No sugar coating the news. Mine died and so did Reese's in early feb. Reasons. Probably varoa mite or honey bound. So i took the hives in, cleaned mine out and so did Reese. Took the honey frames out and stored them securely.
What next?
In a few weeks we are getting our new packages of bees. So excited. I ordered 3 packages and am determined to make it work. Proper IPM for sure as well as judicious monitoring. I think we went slack for a bit last year. The new hives are ordered and should get here in time....they better. We will do a good job of documenting the installation and post that video up.
Stay tuned for more bee fun. Or fun watching Karsten getting stung. Either way, it'll be entertaining.
