It's time to... prepare colonies for winter.
We have 11 weeks to prepare our colonies for winter.
At the end of October, a colony needs:
- 1 queen
- 30 pounds of honey minimum
- A large population of workers
The colony also needs drawn comb on all the frames of a deep super and all the frames of a shallow or medium super. A different configuration of supers is fine; just ensure the colony is ready for winter.
