Revision of families in the fall. Nest formation. Treatment of the tick.
After the honey has been pumped out in each family, we proceed to the revision of bee colonies throughout the apiary.What do we mean by the revision of families? First, it is necessary to reduce the sockets to about 8 frames. Since there are 12 frames with brood and honey in the case, then 4 frames must be removed. We leave all the frames with the brood. If there are a lot of fertile frames, then you can leave 9 frames. In the center of the nest we have brood frames with a minimum amount of perga. On the edges of the nest, you can leave perga - in the spring, protein feed is necessary for bees, it will go to the breeding of brood. Frames with dark dryness, unsuitable for egg laying, frames with light dryness must be removed from the nest. In the center of the nest we put a frame with an open brood - the center of the club will be formed here.
When the nest is formed, it is necessary to put plates from varroatosis, to treat bees. The nest is well insulated.
