Beekeeper's calendar
Apiary tasks by month
October
- Finish feeding
- Merge weak colonies
- Prepare wintering room
Calibrated for central Ukraine — southern regions run 2–3 weeks earlier, northern later. Season rules: don't inspect below 12°C or in wind, August varroa treatment is critical (skip it — the colony won't winter), finish feeding by late September so bees can cap the stores.
