Prevent Robbing by Strong Colonies in Bee Hives
Extension entomologist Burrill advises reducing entrances to weak bee colonies or uniting two weak colonies to form one strong colony. If a colony is weak for reasons beyond a new swarm, requeening by mid August may help. strong colonies requeened survive winter better. Keep comb trimmings in a covered pan to prevent nectar loss, and during robbing funnel entrances so only one bee can pass. If hot, widen entry temporarily and block robbers with straw or grass.
