Southern Hemisphere: Colonies should be expanding rapidly now and producing honey, comb and propplis. If you have any ideas of harvesting beeswax and propolis we are interested in buying it from you.
Beeswax needs to be clean and filtered and of light brown to yellow colour.
Northern Hemisphere help colonies winter down. Various places around the world use thermal protection for their bees. Tactics include long term feeding with sugar water and other protein based supplements such as soya mixed with yeast.
Unless you have a winter crop it is wise to remove supers and provide bees with sunny positions. Insulate your bees with blankets or pillows using a spare empty super chamber.
