Beekeeping basics
A quick primer on this buzzy pastime
A colony of honeybees is composed of thousands of workers, drones, and one queen.
A hive houses a colony of bees.
Beekeeping is the practice of housing, maintaining, and caring for our pollinator friends in artificial hives.
Artificial hives consist of 8-10 frames, from which capped honey can be harvested.
In USDA plant hardiness zone 5 or higher, artificial colonies can be kept safe through the winter by wrapping them.
