Preparing Honey Bees for a Canadian Winter - 2019 Fall Video Compilation

a Canadian Beekeeper’s Blog “2019 Fall Rewind“ is a video edit of all my videos from when I pulled off the last of my honey boxes at the end of August to when I sorted the last of my honey bee hives into the winter shed in Mid November. The fall of 2019 was one of the most challenging years for our farm, here I provide a glimpse from the honey farm. A hot dry summer lead into 6 inches of rain throughout September which followed by over a foot of wet snow at the beginning of October. This weather not only shortened our opportunity to properly feed the bee hives up for winter but it also caused us terrible grief as we battled the mud and then frost as we tried to pick the hives up to move them in for winter. It was a fall that we never forget!
