Wednesday, August 26, 2026 Beekeeping Inspection

Beekeeping work
Internal inspection by only 3 people
Group A (using Apivar): Bee density is high, no apparent problems. Queen bee not visible. No queen cells.

In group B, the queen was visually confirmed, but there was little honey accumulated in the comb above the queen excluder.
Although egg-laying could be observed in the area below the queen excluder, the number of honeybees was sparse.
Group C: Queen not visible. Similar to Group B, the bee population is sparse. Several queen cells have formed. There are also many mites. It's a worrying situation.
Either way, I'd like to harvest honey one more time, but is it difficult because there isn't much honey accumulated?
One giant hornet was found dead; it may have been a reconnaissance mission. More attacks are expected in the future.
We have installed wire mesh in front of the entrances of three beehives to protect against wasps. Currently, we are not covering it with netting.

However, the rooftop is hot and humid.
