October is a critical month for honey bee health in California!
At Beeopic California, we’re currently treating our colonies with Apiguard, a thymol-based treatment, to control Varroa mites before winter.
Unlike colder regions, the San Francisco Bay Area enjoys a Mediterranean climate, allowing our bees to remain active throughout much of the winter.
However, Varroa mites remain a serious threat to colony health, especially as we prepare for the next pollination season.
🌿 Our fall beekeeping priorities:
- Control Varroa populations using Apiguard.
- Adjust treatment according to colony strength and outdoor temperatures.
- Monitor food reserves and colony health.
- Help our bees enter winter with strong, healthy populations.
Healthy bees in October mean stronger colonies for almond and cherry pollination in spring!
