The Bees are Back! Mostly! Winter Solstice Passes Game on for Commercial Beekeeping. Ready Set Go!

Gary Barber's Commercial Beekeeping VLOG: December 2023 we have been busy. The task of clearing out 150 yards and bringing the girls home has begun. We will them home, keep up the mite fight. We start to grade our stock and see what options will be available to as we start into a new year. This is my favorite time of year and also most stressful. We get to see where last year's hard work put us as the days get longer and spring starts to make its return. How are the bees? Was a hard summer, lots of mites this fall. Not looking good for our livestock. Now we see who is the cream of the crop. Focus on them and cull the dinks as we enter 2024.
