Had a cracker day yesterday so got to check the city hives and nucs normally they are head and shoulders over the hives up country but this year is a lot different. Still warm for this time of the year and the snow is still high up the hills we have had only a handful of Frost's some years we've had 6 inches or more of snow by now.

Sounds good it's all about the paper work nowadays keeping a track of the how's and why's and how it will not happen again. And I hope you a not planning on using the old EpiPen on some one you can get dummy ones to practice on (buy that i mean EpiPen not worker) I have one if you want. I think it's important to practice as I left a rather large bruse on the bosses leg as I went in Reservoir dogs style.

Yes not cool wifey was working with me in the bees when she decided to fiz she had been stung a few times with no worries. Now she is getting better with the desensitization treatment but still have a EpiPen or two on hand plus we have adrenaline to jab anyone with. Still not good seeing her doing the funky chicken over the deck after a sting

Ok if you have double brood boxes you could use the shop towels. I use a bee suit but no smoker I'm paranoid about fire but need to go through my hives regularly. Maybe I'm just good at lifting heavy stuff.

Requeen do you not check for AFB during the season also how do you know what's going on in the hive if you can't get near the broad nest

Oxcalic and glycerin strips have been used in South America for over 10 years with no resistance found and the strips use quite high levels of oxcalic acid

Yes there's a full box of honey on top of most of them but a long spring and it's over rover. I have some singles that I'm more worried about doesn't take long to burn through a few frames of honey. They are forecasting a cold winter
