August 15 is the end of the current season and the start of the next season.  What a beekeeper does at this time is essential to ensure colonies survive over winter and are productive the following season.  Check out Module 11 – Fall Preparation in the Education section of this website before coming out this Saturday.

This week we will discuss fall preparation and check several of the weaker colonies.

Next week we remove all honey and start getting the bees ready for winter.
