Apiary
​What your bees are doing

  1. Hives/colonies are in full bloom as the flowers are too. 
  2. Gathering nectar, pollen and propolis. 
  3. Queen is laying, workers are foraging, nursing and making honey. 
  4. Hive will be cooling itself and likely bearding on hot days.  

 ​Beekeeper
What you should be doing


  1. Do your first mite test if you haven't already.
  2. Prepare for and harvest honey.
  3. Make sure your bees have a water source...the bees need the water to help make honey and keep the hive cool. 
  4. Use the Honey Bee Health Coalition Varroa Management Tool to help you make decisions on how to treat your bees from mite infestation. There are really great learning videos on this site also.  
  5. Keep learning...the bees will thank you for being a bee keeper not a bee haver.
