Beekeeping requires seasonal adjustments to ensure the health and productivity of your hive throughout the year. In spring, focus on inspections, feeding, and expansion to help the colony grow. In summer, manage honey production, monitor for pests, and ensure proper space for the bees. Fall is the time to harvest remaining honey, feed the bees, and prepare the hive for winter by managing pests and reducing entrance size. During winter, minimize disturbances, ensure food stores, prevent moisture buildup, and protect the hive from cold. By adapting to the needs of each season, you can maintain a strong, healthy colony year-round.
