Gathering Information

Just like most of us, beekeepers are continually learning and gathering information about their particular industry. They often subscribe to magazines and receive newsletters about the beekeeping. They attend club meetings to share information, and research new facts on the Internet.

The bee inspector, who visits beekeepers on a regular basis, is another source of diverse and up-to-date information.
