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!
Thank you all for visiting us and sharing your bee stories. We value the relationships we've developed with our customers and yes, we get it, when you get excited talking about your bees. We love our bees too! It's great knowing so many others are just as passionate about their hives.
