Announcing our September Meeting!
Don’t think of it so much as preparing the bees themselves to overwinter (which should already be well under way!), but all the other little chores and concerns at the end of the year. What do I do with these wet supers? Should I move this nuc into different equipment? Fall requeening, final inspections, and other housekeeping tasks to take us into winter.
