Dead Outs
With the warmer weather upon us. Dead hives should be cleaned out of dead bees. Clean off the bottom board, go through the frames and brush of any loose bees. Close up the hive bee tight, to prevent robbing of any existing honey. The honey can be used to feed the new package bees.
I have kept bees for 28 years and run 25 colonies. We have changed our business name to Bees and Honey LLC. We are still selling honey at our Stillwater location.
Honey fills (still in Stillwater) anytime but please call
