SURVIVORS OF THE WINTER IN ARKANSAS

 

VARROA MITES PREFER THE DRONE BROOD

It is not difficult to identify drone brood.  The drone cocoons literally "stand out" above the worker brood.  The worker capped brood is flat, but the drones stick up like little pencil erasers.

When uncapped and placed on a paper towel, the varroa mites are revealed!  They stand out as dark little parasites on the drone larvae.

September 20th 2018 Tornado Damage

It was a big wind, for sure.  

These 4 hives were knocked over by the F1 tornado that hit the Faribault-Dundas area of MN on September 20th.  Luckily, most of the hive boxes just tipped over and were not completely blown apart.  All had surviving queens and look good, now, going into the winter.
