DrBeekeeper’s Beekeeping Diary: October 2015

Beekeeping Diary this October…

Sadly, the beekeeping season in the UK is now over and as the nights (as well as days) continue to get colder we’ll see less and less of our bees.  We usually winter our hives with a super underneath the brood box.  If you decide to do this, make sure there is no queen excluder during the winter months.  This is also a good time to protect the hives from woodpeckers and mice.

We’ve got some great posts coming up this month…let us know if you have any favourite honey recipes or ideas to help save the bees (#savethebees) and we’ll feature these in our blog 🙂

Coming up this month
