Winter Preparation Starts in the Spring

摘要

Bbeekeepers have more to do with less time - more dead-outs, more hives/splits, more replacement queens, more monitoring and treating, etc. - this is the trend these days, For some this has resulted in not being able to do everything or delaying activities to later in the season. Unfortunately this can be problematic, particularly when varroa levels are allowed to increase. Higher varroa levels can not only affect honey production, but also winter colony survival.
