June Hive Inspection: 5 Things Every Beekeeper Should Check (Before It’s Too Late)

June is one of the most critical months in the beekeeping calendar, and in this video, I take you inside a real-time hive inspection to walk through 5 essential things every beekeeper should check in June. Whether you’re a beginner beekeeper or a seasoned hobbyist, knowing what to look for during this time of rapid colony growth can help you avoid swarming, overcrowding, and other costly mistakes.

In this inspection, I’ll show you exactly what I’m looking for when it comes to:
1. Signs of swarming and queen cell development
2. Space management inside the brood chamber and supers
3. Nectar flow conditions and honey super readiness
4. Mite management strategy (even if you don’t test every time)
5. Queen health and consistent brood patterns

This is a hands-on walkthrough, not just a list of tips. You’ll see the bees up close and hear how I make decisions based on what I’m seeing in the hive. If you’re wondering what to do with your bees in June or want a practical hive inspection guide, this video is for you.
