Calendar

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.
