You would think that my lack of posts means that not much is happening in the bee yards. Actually, I have been getting Oakhurst garden ready for winter. They have had a huge infestation of SHB and wax moths so all the old comb is coming out and every frame is going to be frozen. Only two hives out of 6 remain, but this spring we will start new and it's going to be great.
The DHS bee yard is coming along well. Both hives seem to be doing well, mites counts were done and both are with in my comfort level. Club hive had about 12, CSX was at about 25.
The CSX split at my house had the SHB troubles. I put in beetle eaters and only saw one alive beetle and the traps were full. This hive seems to have it under control.
