Honeybees

Keeping honeybees in central Missouri

I keep honeybees in central Missouri and build tools for beekeepers along the way.

The work

Beekeeping is the part of this project with the longest history. The tools on this site came out of it: a bloom forecast built on growing degree days, and a logbook for yards, colonies and inspections.

Tools for beekeepers

Pollinator Bloom Calendar: what is blooming near you now, and what is next.
WaggleOps: yard, colony and hive records with inspection notes.
