Yes and no! You typically need to go into a hive once a week. You are checking on the health of the hive and evaluate if you need to help them in any way. It’s often hot and you are constantly thinking of the bees and what they may need. But we LOVE our bees so the work doesn’t seem like work to us beekeepers!

You should take a bee class to gain essential knowledge for successful and responsible beekeeping, as classes teach you to manage hives, care for bees' health, understand local conditions like weather and forage, avoid costly mistakes, and learn practical handling skills with equipment and bees in a safe, mentored environment. This education is crucial, especially given the challenges honeybees face from varroa mites and other stressors, and helps you become a more connected and informed participant in your local ecosystem. 

That is the wonderful thing about being part of a club. Lots of members to become friends with and ask for help. If you take our bee school we’ll give you are mentor so you can ask any questions that come up
