Good luck putting your bees to bed--I am hoping for a couple of nice days when I return in order to finish the process.
I will be leaving for the fall Michigan Beekeepers' Conference this Thursday morning. You can check out the schedule of events for things you might be interested in. Let me know if you want info on any of the sessions--I will do my best to bring it back.

* Extraction day went well--busy most of the day. Always good to talk bees.
** Honey production is down over most of the Upper Peninsula. 1/2 super per hive seems to be the average. -very little recovery after the cool wet July. -if your hives had a more normal year,please let me know. *** With less honey produced and stored by our bees, more feeding is being done. 2 sugars to 1 water. **** Although opinions vary(like most things in beekeeping),winterizing your hives usually take place the end of October or early November. ***** The Michigan Beekeepers' Association conference in Flint is October 25 & 26th --http://www.michiganbees.org/ |
