Our Bees are going mad, the ivy is in full blossom and everywhere in our village.
They come back with their saddlebags full to overflowing and have been like this for over a week now, even in the rain.
Our problem is, we believe they are running out of storage space and possibly nowhere for the Queen to lay if she feels so inclined. So, today, we removed the varoa treatment and on the largest colony, added a super.
I know, I know, your all going to say we are wrong, but, we are only thinking of them in that crowded wooden box.
Question is what advice can all of you who know far more than us, give regarding going into the winter months.
Should we remove the second super and if so what do we do with the stores? It may be tainted with the apiguard.
