## Resource

building. Meanwhile, the tarp flight barriers are keeping the bees up high during the late summer dearth. Chuck also discusses why defensive bee behavior during August should not immediately be blamed on genetics. Highlights: - Inspection and layout of the 16 by 32 slab with a two-by-four shelf ledge for corrugated metal siding and 12-inch deep footers - Setting the slab height above the terrain's high point near the oak tree to ensure water drains away from the building - Reviewing the aggregate reinforcement concrete mix used instead of traditional four-inch wire mesh - Running conduit for electrical power, a grounding rod, fiber optics, and drainage for a deep sink - Tuning weighted tarp flight barriers to keep foraging bees above eye level around the yard and worksite - Assessing seasonal dearth, weather, and queenless status before making decisions on colony aggression Subscribe to @chuckshoneybees for regular updates on apiary management and property projects.
