Corona Street hives were treated with Oxalic acid vapor.
Niagara Way hives were treated with Oxalic acid vapor.
Harvest Time
We will be harvesting the Corona Street hives. Our plan is to leave the double deep bodies for each hive and the overwinter survival. We will be harvesting the single or double honey supers. The lower brood boxes were quickly inspected for adequate survival resources. After harvest, the first mite oxalic acid vapor treatments were performed.
Campus Hives
A quick inspection was performed for each hive. All hives are queen-right and look strong. I am a bit concerned about the number of bees as these hives all suffered a break in queen activity. I am less concerned about mite activity as these hives did have an interrupted brood cycle for at least 2-3 weeks. In general, they look good going into fall
