September Beekeeping Tips
This month in the hive the queen's rate of egg laying slowas and the brood area continues to contract. Little drone brood is laid. This is the end of a second, smaller swarm season.
Left untreated, the Varroa mite population usually peaks in August and September. Make sure to treat for mites. (Mite treatment below)
Make sure to feed your bees and make sure there is water readily available.
The Bees may be more defensive, protecting their hive and robbing other colonies, we hae Robbing Screens to help. (see below)
