Yellowjacket Update

Hi Everyone,



I checked the YJ traps last Sunday and the three traps had caught approximately 120 YJ's total.



I emptied them and rebaited them and put them back.



Watching this week it looks like the YJ's are still there but they are generally just cleaning up the dead bees and not coming as close to the hive.

I think now that I have weathered the YJ attack, I can focus on wintering the bees.

My plan is to check them this weekend and then get ready to medicate for the winter.
