Just wanting to share how our carrboro hives are doing. These are over winter
survivor stock from our treatment free colonies.
Doing splits & getting honey from a community that understands a healthy town
is shared by all. Carrboro has a no spray policy. The tall hive looked the
same last year.
Took 3 slammed supers & left the 4th for them. Got a jar of pickles to boot
from neighbor who canned 35 this year!
2nd hive was busting & ready to split. Brood cycle treatment & bee yard
increases are always a win. Now its time to get sticky
Remainder of tall hive will get split in a week to keep that genetic line
going. I might have to buy more water jars!
