June Beekeeping Tips
In the Hive
June and July are months of maximum population in the colony. The population will vary and if big enough will continue to rear drones. Swarm season is starting.
Inspection
You should be inspecting your colony at least once a month and evaluate brood pattern confirming the presence of the queen and/or eggs. Watch also for colony growth, and monitor for pests and diseases.
Nutrition
Provide super if the brood chambers are full and the population/stores are growing.
Pests, parasites and disease
Monitor Varroa mite levels and treat where needed. We have treatment at Let It Bee Inc.
