LOW Mite Levels are the SECRET to a Healthy Winter!
Ray talks about the importance of maintaining low mite levels in the fall season to help ensure that your bee hives are healthy and strong enough to survive the harsh winter months. He explains how high mite populations can weaken the bees, making them more susceptible to diseases and other stressors during the winter. By focusing on mite management in the fall, beekeepers can significantly improve the chances of their hives thriving come springtime. Additionally, Ray shares practical tips and strategies for monitoring mite levels and controlling their populations effectively, so that you can give your bees the best possible chance for survival through the cold winter ahead.
