The Bee Supply Monthly

An important part of honey bee colony management is rotating and culling old comb. This simple technique can be done any time of year and helps ensure you’re providing the best housing for your bees.

A hot topic in the beekeeping industry—widely discussed on YouTube, social media, and other media outlets—is the massive bee losses commercial beekeepers are experiencing. It's being referred to as the "Bee Collapse." But is it really that bad?  ...

Understanding what you’re seeing in your hive – while it may look different each time – is crucial when performing basic hive inspections. By staying vigilant and following these best practices, you’ll be able to maintain healthy, thriving colonies throughout the year. 

A nutritionally starved hive can show up in several ways, and it doesn’t always happen when you expect it. That’s why learning to recognize the signs is so important. When you pay attention to what your colony is telling you—and step in with timely feeding when needed—you give your bees the support they need to stay healthy, strong, and growing all spring long.
