Farms and honeybeesonline.com. It's almost here. Fall will arrive on September 22nd, 2019.
Only five days away. Are your bees ready? In this newsletter I'll give you tips on preparing your bees for winter such as mite control, fall and winter feeding, wrapping hives and is the weird hive smell a bad thing?

Our lane is lined on the north side with an abundance of goldenrod. Goldenrod makes your hives smell weird. And yes my hives smell weird! Nectar produced by fall asters will make hives take on a funky smell. Don't panic and jump to the conclusion that you have the dreaded, smelly American foulbrood disease. Probably just a fall crop of goldenrod. Can goldenrod produce a fall honey crop? Not likely. While it is a good source of nectar and pollen to help bees prepare for winter, rarely are bees able to gather and store enough for an abundant crop.

Fall Mite Control, Feeding & Wrapping Video
I'm EAS Certified Master Beekeeper David Burns and I've spent a quarter of a century observing, admiring and studying bees. Most of my focus has been on getting bees through the winter. It really isn't that hard if done correctly. In today's new video, I'll explain my shocking findings over the years as to why bees die in the winter and how easy it is to solve the issue of bees dying in the winter.
PLEASE WATCH MY NEW VIDEO! This is the first time I've prepared a concise and detailed video on getting your bees through the winter. When you watch the video, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe to our beekeeping YouTube channel. It's free and it will help you know when we produce new, helpful videos.

Preparing Bees For Winter - Burns Bees Feeding System
The only way your bees will survive the winter is by having enough bees of winter physiology. Summer bees only live 40 days. However, bees of winter physiology live 4-6 months. Bees that you raise in the fall will be bees you see next spring. But how do you raise bees of winter physiology and when? You must feed your bees in the fall so that the queen can lay an abundance of brood in October. When the queen lays an abundance of eggs in October, those bees will emerge in November and will support the hive through April. To stimulate brood rearing now you must feed your bees with our Burns Bees Feeding System.

Our feeding board, shown to the left, allows you to feed from the top where the cluster is located on cooler fall evenings. And it provides screened holes to place your 1:1 sugar water with our protein powder. I explain all of this in my new video. Order it today while supplies last!
I also explain in today's new video how long you can use it until you replace it with our Winter-Bee-Kind winter feeder. Please watch this video now to help you prepare.
