I mean the DRY DRY October 2014 days. It has been exceptionally dry this year and the last few....SURPRISE....
The August is usually the biggest honey month for me. This year there was not a single drop left over for me and YOU.
I checked on the bees last weekend, they seem to have enough honey for them self, good brood and healthy queens. SO all is good. Two hives died though, one was due to Varoa mites, the other I really don't know as the neighbor colony decided to raid the remaining honey and destroyed all the evidence.
In short, I think the bees are ready for the winter.
Let's hope for some good good rain now.
