Calendar

Beekeeping throughout the year is a variable process.  

Piedmont North Carolina Beekeeping Calendar

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.
