Missed out on beekeeping school this year or need a refresher? Check out our ongoing series “A Year in Beekeeping”.

This is a step-by-step video guide which starts with package installs on both foundation and drawn comb, and continues through the rest of the season. We hope these segments will be a useful resource for those who were looking forward to their beekeeping class as a refresher or are brand new to beekeeping.  •  View the series on our Facebook and YouTube pages. Enjoy!
