Varroa Counts and Honey Stores Evaluation

In this workshop, we’ll consider colony size, determine if the honey stores are sufficient, and, if not, how to feed to increase stores. Varroa populations are beginning to peak, so we will see if this year's varroa counts follow the uptick in numbers observed in previous seasons.

September is an excellent time to consider combining colonies. We will discuss how to combine colonies and, more importantly, how to choose the proper ones for the best chance of survival.
