I have added photos of three of my inspection trays following a week in the hives.
This was to check varroa fall - the results are really good.
But I thought to ask you old sages out there, to interpret what the debris tells us as a help aid for beginners, who might be in their first Winter.
(It’s also something to do in lockdown house arrest!)
Fo info:
H1 is cedar brood, poly super above.
H2 is cedar brood and super above, but with PIR shroud.
The Abelo tray is from a poly brood with nadired cedar super.
All have poly roofs and 50mm celotex insulation above crown boards.
Thanks.
