Dance of the Honey Bee
CMCBA Mission Statement:
Provides educational Support to new and experienced beekeepers, with a purpose for the continuation of beekeeping as a community-based agricultural effort
October
Remove any excess frames or supers – reduce hives down to the size that you want them to be for winter. Continue feeding light hives. Brood production and hive populations will continue to diminish.
Do your last inspections while the weather is fair – try not to set off robbing when you open hives. Options are limited if you find any hives that are in trouble. Killing frost usually happens in late October.
Install mouse guards and configure hives for winter – top ventilation – but don’t accidentally open up a back door for robbers or wax moths.
Everyone is welcome to join us at our monthly meetings. Great time for all beekeepers and wanna-bees. You can never bee too ready for the new season. Very knowledgeable and experienced Beekeepers sharing their wisdom.
