This morning I went into my top bar hives to treat for mites with strips.  As I got into the hive, I found that there was a good supply of honey (approximately 5 top bar frames).  In addition, with the wet monsoons this year, the bees  are still harvesting Russian sage, Spirea, and now rabbitbrush.   II last harvested a little honey,, two frames, in early August.  I am  thinking of harvesting some more honey around October 1. Is that to late here in Santa Fe? 

 

Thanks,
