🐝 August is a turning point in the beekeeping season!
Hive populations are at their peak, nectar sources are starting to taper off, and every decision you make now shapes how your bees enter fall. From managing late-summer pests to monitoring honey stores, August is the month to be vigilant and proactive so your colonies remain healthy and productive.

This month’s Colony Cluster focuses on Preparing Your Hives for Winter. What you do in August can be the difference between a strong winter cluster and a colony that struggles to survive.

📅 Join us live — Thursday, August 21st at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT.
Get your questions answered, connect with other beekeepers, and make sure your bees are ready for the cold months ahead.

See a swarm? Call a beekeeper! It is true that swarms will leave on their own but they may end up in the wall or eave of your home. At that point it can be really difficult and sometimes expensive to get them out without causing damage.
