Frost advisory last night but only got down to 43 degrees. I checked activity today (sunny and 55), and the bees are quite busy--some bees flying in with pollen which is good to see. I removed the sticky poster board, and the number of varroa mites has thankfully decreased. The entrance reducer hole should be facing up, as I have confirmed in my books. Top entrance holes are still open.
I've been doing some reading about winter preparations. I've got some work to do. I want to make sure that when I do my last big teardown of the hives for inspection that I know exactly what I need to do, so I don't have to open them up again.
Put top feeders on and fed each hive one gallon of 2:1 syrup with Honey-B-Healthy.
