Summer is a great time to utilize fresh fruit and vegetables from local farms! You can even use crops from your own garden, as well as fresh honey from your bees.

We recommend the National Honey Board’s fruit and veggie dips for refreshing flavors straight from your garden: https://honey.com/blog/celebrate-spring-with-two-delicious-honey-recipes

July is a busy and exciting time in the apiary! If favorable weather continues, the nectar flow may linger a little longer, giving your bees more opportunities to gather resources. During hot, humid evenings, don't be surprised to see bees clustering on the outside of the hive—this behavior helps regulate the hive's temperature and keep the colony comfortable.

Continue regular hive inspections to monitor colony health, and add honey supers as needed to support ongoing nectar collection. A little time spent now can help ensure healthy colonies and a sweet payoff later in the season. Happy beekeeping! 🌻🐝🍯

June has brought life to the hive! Unswarmed colonies are teeming with bees, and while the queen’s egg-laying may slow a bit, the main honey flow should be kicking in 🍯

The hive is strong, busy, and full of energy — this is when you truly see the payoff of a healthy colony. You should be performing weekly inspections to ensure hive health and queen presence. Add honey supers as needed to keep up with nectar flow, keep a close eye out for signs of swarming, and stay connected by participating in bee club meetings through michiganbees.org — there’s always something new to learn!

June is a rewarding (and busy!) month for beekeepers — every visit to the hive is a reminder of how incredible these pollinators are. 🐝
