Behind the Scenes: Treating Hundreds of Hives for Mites During the Dry Season

Healthy bees, happy keepers!

Scott, Carlos, and Seth were out in the apiaries doing what they do best - caring for our bees. To keep our rescued colonies strong and thriving during the dry season, the crew treated a few hundred hives for mites and made sure they were well fed with fresh syrup.

Our Job Doesn't End at the Removal

When we rescue and relocate bees, the work doesn't stop once we leave the job site. We bring every colony back to our apiaries and give them the professional, hands-on care they need to truly build healthy, humming communities.

Mite treatment is one of the most important things we do to keep a rescued colony alive and thriving. Left untreated, varroa mites can wipe out an entire hive within months. Our team monitors every colony and treats on a regular schedule so the bees we rescue actually have a fighting chance.

This is the part of bee rescue most people never see - but it's just as important as the removal itself. We're not just relocating bees. We're committed to their long-term survival.
