The 2025 Beekeepers Playbook - Month by Month
In this episode of The New England Buzz we discusses a recently updated Beekeepers Playbook for Southern Maine that we were able to get our hands on, created for and used by a Southern Maine beekeeper. It goes from month to month playing out like a calendar of tasks, considerations, including feeding, integrated pest management, including Varroa mite treatments, and ends where it started with winter preparations. This calendar - playbook is a personal playbook that was shared through the grape vine of beekeepers in zones 5 and 6 of Southern Maine. It is intended as a guide that can be adjusted based on another beekeepers needs.
