This month the hives will be making a last push to prepare for winter. The coming months will present cooler days that may not be hospitable to flight. The major tasks this month and throughout the fall will be similar to August.

ALL Hives:

• Check the hive weight.

• Feed 2:1 sugar syrup (Add lemongrass oil, Honey-B-Healthy, etc.).

• Perform a mite count and treat accordingly.

• Add 1/2 pollen patty.
