Lughnasa Waning Artemis Moon
The varroa mite count is in and my bees had–1. That’s one mite for the sample of some 225 bees. I didn’t get the optimal 300, see the business about the bees not volunteering for freezing to death, but finding only 1 mite makes me feel pretty comfortable. Wednesday I’ll check the divide and see how it’s doing mite wise.
I’ll have to become more facile with this procedure since I need it to do at least twice a year, more if the counts begin to go high.
We had a thunderstorm that knocked out the power and turned on our generator earlier tonight. My computers were not unplugged, but they seem to have survived.
