I run my winter hives with insulation between the screen and bottom board. It's time to clean off the debris from overwinter. I was very happy with myself, feeling confident that I was doing so prior to small hive beetles making a mess in the detritus. Then, the sixth hive I got to had the squirmy gross larvae. Yuck!
All boards have now been scraped off and the debris bag frozen. Please beekeepers, clean off your boards before the warmth really takes off and you have a mess in your beeyard.
March 26th in the Hudson Valley after a long hard winter. This is just how we want to see our bees. Happily working. Each bee has a task. The temperature in the hive it hot and there is oodles of skunk cabbage and other pollen coming in the front. All is good in the colony. What a joy to lift the heart.
