The temp out side is 55F and feels that way since the wind is about nill. I just finished blocking upo a big hunk of an a Ash tree I cut down last year that had the Emrald Ash bore in it. I took off my sweat shirt well before I finished cutting it. I hadn't finished spliting the first block and I had my shirt off and was still plenty warm in the T shirt. Going to pull Checkmite strips out this afternoon since the girls are flying about. They are supposed to stay in till Nov 15th but I am going to be gone then and the weather I saw was going to cool off. Al
Seems like it warming up everywhere. I wouldn't exactly say it is warm where I am but some days it's not the typical Irish November. What's Checkmite by the way Al? All these new beekeeping related terms.. I will have to catch up
Checkmite is a tempory section 18 compound to kill varroa mites. :cry: :cry: Apistan has been found to not work due to some beekeepers misuseing it and the mites building a resentance to it. Only supposed to leave it in the hives 42 days and some have left them in all winter. Al
