MB Beekeeping is a practical beekeeping resource focused on cold-climate hive management. Based in Manitoba, Canada, we write about what actually works when temperatures regularly drop below -30C.

What We Cover

Our guides focus on the realities of northern beekeeping - winterization strategies, equipment that holds up in extreme cold, spring buildup after long winters, and the specific challenges that come with short growing seasons and harsh conditions. We also cover foundational topics for beginners getting started with their first hive.

Why This Site Exists

Most beekeeping advice online is written for temperate climates. When you are keeping bees on the Canadian prairies, a lot of that advice does not apply. We started MB Beekeeping to fill that gap with tested, experience-based information for beekeepers in cold regions.
