Beekeeping in Spring and Summer
As the weather warms up, beekeeping becomes more active. During spring and summer, bees are busy collecting nectar and pollen, building their hives, and raising their young. Beekeepers need to monitor their hives regularly to ensure that their bees are healthy and productive. It's also a great time to extract honey and other products from the hives.
Beekeeping in Winter and Fall
Beekeeping in winter and fall requires special attention to ensure that the bees survive the cold weather. Beekeepers need to prepare their hives for winter by insulating them and providing enough food for the bees to survive. During this time, beekeepers also have the opportunity to focus on education and planning for the upcoming beekeeping season.
