<div>Nice email. Another suggestion is to provide empty frames plenty of airflow to help prevent wax moth— set on sides, not stack on top of each other. Thanks</div><div><br></div>

<p>After an unusually cool summer, the heat finally arrived in late September, and now with scattered showers across the county this week, it feels like fall has begun in earnest.</p>
<p>If you haven’t harvested your honey yet, now is the time to plan. Extraction is much easier on warm days while the honey is still fluid; once it cools and begins to crystallize, the job gets harder. </p>
<p>It’s also a good moment to think about winter storage for your supers. A few reminders:</p>
<ul><li>
<p><strong>Freeze your frames</strong> before storing — this kills off pests.</p>
</li><li>
<p><strong>Use sealed containers</strong> for smaller numbers of frames.</p>
</li><li>
<p><strong>Avoid climate-controlled buildings</strong>, since wax moths thrive in them and will quickly destroy comb.</p>
</li><li>
<p><strong>Consider Certan</strong> — an organic bacterial product that targets wax moths without harming bees.</p>
</li></ul>
<p>A little planning now will save you headaches come spring.</p></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="ydp704f898ayiv9105611878gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Jennifer Berry<br clear="none"><a>1 (415) 205-7440</a><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div><div><br clear="none"><br clear="none"></div></div></div></div><br clear="none"></div><br clear="none"><div class="ydp704f898ayiv9105611878gmail_quote ydp704f898ayiv9105611878gmail_quote_container"><div id="ydp704f898ayiv9105611878yqtfd97264" class="ydp704f898ayiv9105611878yqt9218089213"><div dir="ltr" class="ydp704f898ayiv9105611878gmail_attr">On Mon, Sep 29, 2025 at 9:26 PM Jim Lawson <<a shape="rect" href="mailto:communications@marinbees.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">communications@marinbees.org</a>> wrote:<br clear="none"></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex;" class="ydp704f898ayiv9105611878gmail_quote">Please find attached a draft of the September/October version of the newsletter.
