Hot weather reminders:
·
Make sure your hives have access to water: some
put out poultry watering feeders, others use Boardman feeders of water at each
hive entrance.
·
Crack open the top lids to help air ventilation.
·
Check for mite levels with an alcohol test for
best accuracy and rinse the bees 3 times to get all the mites out for your
count.
·
Remove large areas of drone brood before they
hatch to decrease the number of varroa emerging.
