Checking the Bees: Day 14 of 21-day Mite Treatment!

Today marked the 14th day of our 21 day treatment using MAQS (Mite Away Quick Strips)!  Today's task was simply to remove the old strips (optional, but they get crusty and gross so we remove them), and replace with a new strip.  These will remain on the hives now until next week, when I'll go back on day 21 to remove them and start some heavy feeding for fall!

Scraping off some extra wax

Nice ball of wax today from inner covers and a few frames!

Here's a video of what I did today!

Bee sure to stop in again next week! :-)
