In Missouri, the winters are not so severe as to warrant the extra labor of cellaring, and then the weather gets really warm in December. winters are nothing compared to our northern brethren and we can successfully overwinter with a deep and a med configuration. Although honey bees are masters at overwintering, living in man-made hives has its challenges for bees.
How do I become a certified beekeeper in Missouri?
To become a Beginning Beekeeper, a candidate must take a written exam. To become an Apprentice or Journeyman Beekeeper, a candidate must take a written and practical examination (two hours per exam). Candidates for Junior Master, Master Trainer, or Certified Beekeeper take only a written exam.
How many beehives can you put on 1 acre?
Average bee hive densities (hives per acre) recommended for crops grown in the USA range from 1 to 7. Most crops that benefit from honey bees require 2-3. Recommended numbers have inched upwards in recent years because of a drop in wild honey bee densities.
