Getting ready for the cocoon harvest, inspection and storage


 It is already September 10.  Soon I will be tearing apart the condos. Each tube will be emptied and all the cocoons will be cleaned and inspected.  I will store the cocoons in a special air mesh bag for the winter. From what I can tell I will have about 200 cocoons from this years egg laying.  I hope for more, but for sure I should have 200 cocoons.


Next spring I will carefully monitor the release of bees and will kill the nasty Houdini flies.  I really hate those nasty files.
