Southern Hemisphere: Some bluegums are flowering now which enables bees to survive the bitter cold evenings and mornings we are experiencing. Citrus honey starts now as well.
Eat honey and propolis gathered during the spring and summer season to boost immune system and ward off illness. Apply honey to cracked and dry hands and fingers as a moisturiser.
Prepare and plan for annual maintenance in your apiary with clearing as well as removing 1-2 brood frames with honey from the brood chamber from the middle of August.
Northern Hemisphere keep colonies going with the nectar flows by moving your bees to seasonal crops and orchards that flower in the spring and summer periods.

Almonds, sunflower and many more crops will be ready to accept pollination from honey bees.
