In order to give your bees the best chance of making it through the winter, there are a few key things to make sure of.
We can help you with all of these, but this is your last chance to get one of our North Star Queens. Without a strong queen, your hive has no chance of making it through the winter. If you suspect a weak queen, or if she is a few years old now is the perfect time to replace her.
You may also want to do a late fall split if your hive is busting out of their boxes. There is still enough time to Introduce our North Star mated queens to a split and get her and her hives good and ready for fall.
But hurry, our North Stars won't arrive again until 2022.
