Apiary Tasks by Month
Beekeeping throughout the year is a variable process. Fitting annual apiary duties with the rest of your life can be tricky. NC State Apiary Inspector Nancy Ruppert has given us a helpful list of what can be expected throughout the year for beekeepers in the Piedmont. Those outside of central North Carolina will need to adjust for local conditions. We hope you find the Piedmont North Carolina Beekeeping Calendar useful.

This is a one day workshop that will include hive construction, the history of honeybees, pests, hive placement, obtaining bees, honey extracting, and other bee related topics. We will provide a light lunch and refreshments. Weather permitting, we will have a hive of bees that will be manipulated by one of our beekeepers. The hive will be inside a cage; so protective gear is not necessary.
