May: Swarms. Bees do that sometimes. Weather permitting, hive inspections.
June: Pests. Ants, beetles, critters. Hive inspections.
July: Local queen breeder Bob Anderson will talk to us about the importance of the Queen.
August: Honey harvesting. We'll be having sticky fun.
September: Mites. Do nothing and your bees are in the position to die over winter.
