December Live Chat 2025

Do you feel as bad as I do that the bees are out in the freezing cold while I'm in my nice, warm house? We had our first snow of the year this week and although our beekeeping tasks are low, it's important we avoid a few critical mistakes! Join me this Friday to talk about winter beekeeping tasks. To my warm-weather friends (you lucky ducks), I will be addressing mild winter beekeeping tasks too! There will also be a give a way and it's a fun one :) As always, come with questions & stories to share. Please note the time change! Now starting at 7pm EDT, Dec. 5th.
