Back in the hive after the 1st Apiguard teatment things look good- there are less then 100 mites on the varroa board and its been on for over 2 weeks. From what I have read this is quite a low count so it looks as if the bees are doing well in this respect! The brood box is really full now, with activty on all the frames- as well as a respectable amount of stores. Brigit is still busy with plenty of new eggs - I'm not sure if this is OK as at this time of year things should be slowing down in terms of brood. The new bees emerging now should be the 'winter bees' which will live for the whole of the winter and start the colony going in the spring next year if all goes well!
