Getting your hives ready for changes in temperature and shifts in weather conditions throughout the year is very important for growing and sustaining strong and healthy colonies. Getting your equipment ready and keeping it ready for dealing with the various milestones throughout the year is crucial given the number of variables involved that can affect a positive or negative outcome.

Beekeeping in June is a very busy time for most beekeepers given they must pay close attention to the health of their colonies. You need to actively check your hives each week and perform tasks like inspecting the overall health of your hive, identifying the queen and adding honey supers if needed. If you plan on removing honey from the hives, June is a particularly good time to check on the status of the containers you will need for storing the harvested honey, as well as making sure you have the right tools for extracting it.
