Hello
I'm going away with work from 22 August to 26 September, right through the period when if I was here I'd be taking off the super and treating for varroa with Apilife Var.
The super I've got on is about half full, and about half of that capped, but there's a huge field of michaelmas daisy nearby just coming into flower so I don't want to take it off yet as I think it'll be full in a couple of weeks.
I know that starting varroa treatment and any necessary feeding in late September is really pushing it, but I don't think the honey will be capped before I go.
Am I being stupid leaving it till I get back?
Cheers
David
