The Utah County Beekeepers Association Beekeeping Calendar |
Below is the calendar for January . Other months coming soon! You can also check the bottom of this page for a schedule of our meetings for 2011.
| The Bees | ||||
| The bees really aren't doing much this month other
than just staying alive. They are clustered up on the
frames but will move around when temperatures are
above 40F. When they do move, it is to go as a cluster to
anew area of the hive with honey stores. The cluster may cover 4-8 frames from top to bottom. During the month of January, the bees may consume 20- 25 ounces of food per day to maintain the hive's temperature. |

Order package bees or nukes for next year.
There is actually quite a bit that you can be doing
this time of year. Below is a suggested list of "to do"
items. If they make sense to you, try them.
