Northern Rivers newsletter - April 2017
The weather included a downpour of nearly 400mm in the Bungawalbyn area one Sunday, followed by a real downpour from Cyclone Debbie a week later. The Bungawalbyn road, which had bad potholes and corrugations, was graded just before the first downpour. This produced bad washouts, and it has gone under again. It will be closed for a while. There is also the problem of getting out of the properties with 16 hives on the ute.

Bee hives need not be disturbed during the colder months. Provided they are well prepared they will survive until Spring.
Check the queen to see that she is performing well. If she is failing kill her and unite the colony with another healthy one above a sheet of newspaper.
Check all brood combs for disease, particularly AFB.

The point has been made before that beekeepers should modify their practices now that hive beetles are here. When doing any major hive manipulations like this, or making up nuclei hives, here are some suggested dos (and don’ts).
