Beekeeping Notes:

  • Purchase and assemble equipment for the upcoming year.
  • Make any last minute orders for package bees.
  • Take a peek at existing over-wintered hives. Feed some emergency granulated sugar if the bees are running short of stored honey.
  • Prepare to start feeding sugar syrup in mid to late March once the daytime temperatures are in the 40’s and above.
  • Clean dead bees out of dead over-wintered hives. Dead bees start to rot and create a real mess if not cleaned out in a timely manner.
  • If this year is your first foray into beekeeping, find a mentor.
