The old advice of "Take your losses in the fall" is very sound advice.
Weaklings, snotty hives, and poor producers get their queen removed and their

Just starting to see some varroa here in SE CT USA they stand out on the
drone brood that was between the supers and the hive bodies.
Bees are working the Japanese Knotweed now and a vine that looks kind of like
clematis but with many small white blossoms.
