Florida Beekeeping Calendar

Keep your beekeeping management on track throughout the year with the Florida Beekeeping Calendar. Developed by the UF/IFAS Honey Bee Research and Extension Laboratory, this practical resource provides month-by-month guidance for seasonal hive management.

Each month features a checklist covering timely activities such as colony inspections, Varroa monitoring, queen management, feeding, and honey production. The calendar also highlights what's blooming across North, Central, and South Florida, connecting seasonal management with floral resources available in each region.

The calendar's undated format makes it a useful resource season after season. Its coil binding folds back easily for convenient reference at home or in the apiary. Additional UF/IFAS resources are included throughout for more information on specific management topics.

From first-time beekeepers to experienced hive managers, the Florida Beekeeping Calendar brings seasonal recommendations, regional bloom information, and trusted UF/IFAS guidance together in one convenient resource.
