Out here trying to herd the bees into the observation hive. 1 goes in 10 come out 😂. We’ll have this on display at our booth at The Sandwich Fair this weekend. Stop by and find the queen bee.

Inspector do-little is keeping a close eye on me as I’m packing up equipment for winter storage.

Working on getting the hives up to weight for winter. Ideally I like to have the strong single deeps weighing in at about 75lbs. Some of the lower population colonies, ones that are similar in population to a 5 frame nuc, will weigh less. It looks like good feeding weather for about a week if the forecast stays accurate.

Working on pulling the last of the supers. Trying to get them all back to the shop by the end of next week. Some areas have produced below average, and some above average yields. It should equal out in the end. Not a season goes by where I don’t say at the end of it “Wow, what a weird year.”

Bye bye bees. August is going out with a bang💥. A couple more late season swarms. It happens.
