Bees Monthly Activities

What are the bees doing in September?

The bees are actively collecting nectar from autumn-blooming plants. This serves as their last chance to stock up before the frost sets in. The queen's egg production significantly decreases as she lays the essential eggs that will become the workers needed to support the colony through the upcoming spring, likely within the lower brood chamber. Drones may start to vanish this month. The hive's population is declining.
