Winter checkup of the bee colonies!

14/2/2014

    A brief recording explaining some methods of winter colony inspection.  The audio quality is on occasion choppy due to the windy conditions at the apiary, but most of the important info can be understood (I hope :)).  The only info that is badly distorted by wind is the frequency of the winter checkups, that can be every 3-4 weeks (I prefer the 4 week periods).
    The recording was made "on the fly", so some of the info that was worthy mentioning was forgotten (eg. if you press your ear against one side of the hive and you don't hear a thing, try from the other side, as the cluster may be on the opposite side of the hive), but I hope that the video provides enough to get everyone going in the right direction.
