Mickle
New Bee
Any assistance to a novice would be helpful.
I have a single national that was well stocked up to autumn with bees and food. I treated twice for varroa and installed a removable floor board. On inspection recently there appears to be quite a few mites dropped down, is this normal throughout winter, and so late after treatment.
I have hefted recently and can't be sure if there is enough food. Should i put on fondant just in case?
The hive is quite exposed. Would it cause a lot of disruption to move to a less open location now?
Thanks for any help.
