Getting ready for winter and bee sales

2017 December 2

So , what are we doing now that there is no honey to  pull or queens to catch?

Well , I took a drive up north to pick up this beauty , it will be our new addition to our extracting setup  in the new honey house .We have been feeding lots of sugar, making sure the bees are healthy, putting mouse guards on, dealing with those pesky mites and working on the interior of  new honey house . Bees are looking pretty good they have been active the last few warm days trying to find anything they can . Bee orders are now being taken and we will be busy building boxes ,frames and nuc boxes soon for the spring buildup.
