About
Our intention is to provide information about what it takes to get started in beekeeping. Building back up from just a couple hives will give the new beekeeper a window in to what’s being done during the course of a year. With over 20 years experience in the hobby / sideline beekeeping experience this will provide a unique perspective for the beginner beekeeper as well as ideas and techniques for the more experienced beekeeper. Timing is so important with bees and knowing when to do what will be invaluable. We will be building beehives, putting in foundation, processing beeswax, feeding hives, inspecting hives, treating hives, marking queens, making splits, reversing hives, collecting and processing honey, summer splits, collecting swarms, swarm trapping, all kinds of normal operations. You’ll also get to see what works well and what doesn’t work. You’ll see how hives build up and which ones survive and which ones don’t. Record keeping will also be covered. Hope you subscribe. Thanks!
