It's been way to long

I'm not going to go into it but a lot has happened since the last time I posted. And at some point I will jot down what I did about a month ago. But for now here's today's visit.
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.
