Second Round of Varroa Treatments

This morning I had to get up before dawn to move some hives.  They were not happy about it! However, the Sunrise was incredible.  A light fog hung in the air and it was quite still and so beautiful.

Later that morning, I went out and applied another treatment to my hives to deal with the Varroa.  I'm switching thing up a bit to not rely on one treatment type or method.  The fogger with Oxylic Acid is fast and efficient.

They get a bit upset with this.  Not too bad, but I still suit up with my veil.  They can be nasty this time of year!
