I live in NorthWest Connecticut.
I am a hobby keeper with two hives.
I would like to get some and harvest some of the fall honey flow (goldenrod,
loosestriff, aster, cornflower etc) which is just starting.
I medicate in the fall with Apistan (have to) and menthol (applied via canola
oil soaked paper towels which is supposed to be less dependant on temperature
to give off vapors).
Does anyone have any suggestions about how late I can pull my surplus honey
and start medicating?
Also idea time, and latest possible time to requeen?

Thanks much for any input.
