July
The honey flow period continues. As the small-leaved linden and white sweet clover finish blooming, the summer honey flow ends. This is also influenced by the appearance of aphids on coniferous and linden leaves.
From July 15-20, honey should be extracted (the second extraction) and the bees prepared for transport to buckwheat, clover, or heather fields. Before this, frames suitable for wintering, made this year, are placed in the middle of the hive nest. Old frames with brood are moved to the edges of the nest. For colonies with 11 or more such frames, 1-2 artificial frames are added to the nest, and supers are placed. For weaker colonies, supers are not added, but 2 artificial and 2-3 drawn frames are placed in the nests.
