Wellington Beekeepers Association Inc. About the Apiary - April 1998 |
 |
|
April 98 Replace any rotten woodware, make sure the hives are off the ground at least 100 mm and slightly sloping forward so rain runs off the landing board. Spray, salt, weed, what ever to remove any grass from around the hives. Close down the entrance so mice can’t get in. Check the stores; there should be at least a super of honey. If you don’t have this amount feed sugar syrup 60% in a large feeder until they have enough stores. Place a small twig under the roof to provide ventilation and your set for the winter.
