Hello All,
I have not heard of high losses *so far* this year. I have heard as Lloyd
said of beekeepers leaving supers on late. Some have even still got supers
on!
Those hives have not had any kind of varroa treatment nor fall feeding. I
think its early to tell the state of my areas hives.
My partner & I are looking at the best bees we have seen in years! We had to
feed extra but we are sitting back confident our hives will come through our
winter in great shape.
My partner has been hunting deer each day and I have been catching up on
reading old bee books & magazines!
