On Monday this week we removed our 4 honey supers and put on some Mite Away Quick Strips (MAQS)! I haven't posted any videos since July because my GoPro has been acting up...but now mysteriously seems to be working again...just in time to catch this week's visit!
It was a rough year for our teeny tiny apiary! With one colony not making it through the winter, our Nuc order falling through, and then our queen dying in our one remaining colony, we were just happy for them to survive this summer! But, we successfully re-queened our colony, built back up the bee population, and even got a little bit of honey!
Check out this week's video, and stay tuned for this year's extraction later this fall!
That was so interesting and fun to watch. You’d think knocking the bees so hard would hurt them but it doesn’t seem to! It was fun seeing how they do go back into the hive. I liked seeing a couple bees walking across the camera lense. A really nice video. Thanks for putting that together! 🐝 😊
