September bearding



18/09/2024

Every year, when we use Apiguard, there is at least one absconds. Have you noticed similar behavior? This year we are using half a dose added each week, but this colony still swarmed. This had become more than a swarm though, because they had started building comb there.

Applying Apiguard.

This was a swarm capture from a few months ago. They seem set for the winter.

We had to wait for the temps to warm up enough before we could open the hives. Fall is almost here.

The inulas are spectacular this time of the year. The tallest ones probably reach up to about 9ft high. During the winter they completely die back, which makes it easy to transplant the roots to better locations. These appear to be Inula racemosa. Do you grow inulas? The bees love them.

Angry bees.

Just another day at the office.

Colony removal and cutout #1. These are spicy bees.

This is the swarm we just caught. We decided to give them drawn comb, because the blackberry and linden flows are on. The frames had old pollen in them though and other debris. Within 24 hours, this is the debris pile in front of the hive. These bees are quickly cleaning house. Would you consider this hygienic behaviour? #swarm #beekeepernearestme #beekeeping. #beekeeper #soilandhive #oregonbeekeeper
