Its that time of year!!

Any tips on how to clean the hives over the winter? I always have extra frames with some waxy stuff on them thats a bit tricky to clean up. I also have an older hive that was really infested I want to learn how to completely sanitize if possible.

Goats are crunching hay, dogs are running around muddy, alpacas are lazily lying in the sun - its going to be a wonderful day!

I love goats!

I harvested some honeycomb in preparation for a winter varroa treatment. I didn’t have time to crush it so its just sitting in a food safe bucket, taunting me with its delicious smell! Have you ever had that problem?
