Man, last post was on Labor Day!
Lots has happened since then. We finished extracting about the 15th of October.
As the guys were pulling the honey, they gave the bees some feed.
Then, they got the bees all grouped into our loader yards.
Treated all of the bees with Oxalic Acid. This is for mite control.
So far, as of last night, we have 4 loads on the ground in Texas.
We are moving them onto locations and then putting an entrance reducer in the front door and opening a barrel of feed in each yard.
We had a cool couple nights when the first two loads got here. But the forecast is now highs in the 80's and lows in the 50's.
5 loads left to go!

Hi folks! We are currently getting ready to head south to do our spring work! (Bee calving season)

The main portion of the bees are in California where the almond trees are just starting to push some leaves after the bloom. Probably 10-14 days before they are released.

The queen yard will be set up and grafting will likely start around the 10th of March.

With the massive losses this past year we are not going to be selling any nucs this year. Hoping to possibly sell some singles later. This has many factors attached that we just don't know yet.

We are currently sampling our dead out hives and hoping to get some answers about the losses. Two years in a row of over 70% dead are kicking our ...
