Participated in a hands on field day at Beech Mountain Beekeeping on Saturday,
August 17. During the class participants learned how to apply pesticides for mites, treatments for nosema,
feeding and food supplements for winterizing bees.
Getting ready to apply Apiguard, a natural non-toxic treatment, used
to control varroa mites in honeybee colonies.
Installed a mouse guard to prevent mice from entering the hive.
The girls are busy on this autumn day bring in pollen from the goldenrod.
Added a weatherproof hive wrap to help protect the bees
from the fall and winter elements.
