With August fast passing us by it's time to get the colonies in good shape for the Autumn and Winter ahead. I find there are three things I need to get sorted to make sure my colonies are in the best shape possible to get through the Winter successfully and ready for a fast start in the New Year. Make sure we have queenright colonies, make sure they have been treated for varroa where necessary and get enough feed into them to make sure they have enough stores to see them through the Winter.Support the show
