Beekeeping 101
The Basics of Caring for Your Hive
Beekeeping is a fun and rewarding hobby that helps pollinate plants, make honey, and support the environment. Whether you’re new to beekeeping or growing your hive, knowing the basics is key to success.
Choosing the Right Hive
Common hives include Langstroth, top-bar, and warre hives, each with unique benefits.
Setting Up Your Hive
Place your hive in a sunny, dry location with nearby forage for bees.
Introducing Bees
Start with a package of bees, a nuc, or a swarm, all requiring proper management for success.
Regular Inspections
Check the hive every 7-10 days for the queen, eggs, larvae, and overall health.
Swarm Control
Prevent swarming by providing space and splitting the colony if necessary.
Honey Harvesting
Harvest honey when the hive is strong, but leave enough for the bees to survive winter.
