Checked yard hives vineyard hives and gardens hives. Three quarters of them have a decent amount of hive beetles. I would be taking care of that in the next couple weeks and treating. I was able to harvest about another hundred pounds of honey. Most hives today were in a decent mood, the gnarliest probably was the furthest east hive in the vineyard. There is an in enormous amount of bees and that hive. So next step is to visit the orchard hives and just start treating for varroa mites and hive beetles. Here's some pics.
WTH?
Big ass spider(garden variety.)
You can see the mites on the brood.
