13 October, 2008 - 6 AM

On 9 October I went ahead and pulled two frames from the top brood super so that I could "rob" some honey! The frames had nothing but honey. After extracting the honey, those two frames provided six eight ounce jars of honey.

Since I have taken that honey I can begin medicating the bees in preparation for fall/winter.

I will be putting Apigard VAR in the hive to deal with the varroa mites. I will also continue to use powdered sugar for varroa mites as well.
