We are increasing our syrup ratio to 2 to 1 the coming weeks likely 3 weeks, the last mile before winter. After feeding finishes I will be tilting any hive on a bottom board a little so that moisture in the winter does not rain down on the bees.

Few more weeks and feeding will be complete, the bees are going to bed for winter, if we did everything correctly we will have bees in the spring

I’m increasing the ratio of syrup being fed to hives this weekend, I’m going to start feeding 1 to 1.5 this weekend. Time to start putting on weight. Winter nests have already been established. Note I am going to only feed a gallon each week, depending on the hives current weight. I do have some that do not need fed right now.

mite treatment’s are complete until the last weekend of November at which time I will use OA v***r.

I typically treat with OA twice in November, December and January, depending on weather and temps.

Hope everyone’s bees are doing well, I am wrapping up mite treatments this weekend, been a bit behind. I am currently feeding one to one, not sure there will be a fall nectar flow on my area the heat has most likely killed it. I’m seeing lots of pollen so that is a plus.

Evening all! It’s been a busy weekend for me, I am treating all of my hives with Apiguard, I typically do 3 rounds for every hive, I run singles so I dose at 30 per hive three times, takes me all month of August to finish treating them. Apiguard shuts the queens down a bit, however once the treatment is complete, they catch up and I end up with a solid nest and overwintering colony.

Hope everyone is doing well, I am moving nucs into deeps this weekend and treating for mites it’s that time of year already.

Been out pulling honey the last couple of days, just beat the rain today. Next weekend I will be assessing queens and treating for mites. New hives that are building up I will likely treat all month with OA, established hives I plan to treat with either apravar
strips or Aprigard gel. I hope everyone had a good season and harvest, depending on your area I think there may be a decent fall flow. With all the summer rain we have gotten. Have a Great Relaxing Weekend!!!

Out this weekend checking yards, mowing, and seeing if my flows are done. Currently there seems to be a decent flow in Jackson county and estill county, my yards there are still bringing in a good amount of nectar, my Madison county yards are still bringing it in as well. Madison county should be about done imo.

07/03/2026

From floods to heat wave, gotta love it. If you haven’t yet and your flow is done, it’s time to harvest that honey, I won’t be harvesting until last weekend of July there abouts, then I plan on treating for mites first weekend of August.
