Welcome to 2025!
Have your bees made it through the early part of winter ok? With the warm weather, have they been gobbling up their food supply? Be sure to monitor what is going on with your colonies if weather permits. A quick peek under the hood when it's above 40 degrees won't hurt them. If they've made it ok this far, they are far from being out of the woods yet. Remember, the groundhog says 6 more weeks of winter!
If you are looking to start beekeeping this year, attending our club meetings is a good way to start. Also, check out our Classes and Events page for information about beekeeping classes.
