Ladies and Gents,
I need some advice on getting the ladies ready for winter. The nights are getting down below 50 degrees, but the days are still hot such as 60, 70 or 80 degrees.
I missed the class on getting ready for winter. I have now joined the beekeeping club and will be going with alot of questions. I thought some of you might have a checklist for us new bees. This is my first winter.
I have been feeding 2/1 sugar water. I was wondering whether I should take off supers with little honey in it. We get some snow in December or January (less than a foot which does not stick) I have been treating with powder sugar for mites and have not seen any.
If you have a checklist or advice I would appreciate it. My two hives are doing pretty well. I lost one to raccon when electric fence malfunctioned.
Thanks,
Still Learning
