About this episode
The more colonies you have, the more you will notice differences between them throughout the year. On today's episode, Kim and Jim talk about what do you do when you open one of your colonies and it seems 'smaller' than the other colonies around it. Is it something that should concern you? What do you look at first? Pests? Pesticides? Failing queen? Inadequate food supplies? Do you try to fix it? Listen in as Kim and Jim discuss this sometimes perplexing topic that pesters all beekeepers, one time or another! We hope you enjoyed today's episode. Please follow today and leave a comment.
