Beekeeping isn’t just as simple as putting a hive out and collecting the honey! There is a lot of hard work, science, management, adapting and knowledge involved.
The weather also plays a crucial role. The last few years have been challenging for many Alberta beekeepers. We have dealt with everything from drought to too much moisture, wildfire smoke and diseases. The varroa mite has also wiped out many colonies.
A beekeeper’s job is not easy. Each year presents new challenges.
