All content on Honeybees 101 is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. It is not veterinary, medical, legal, financial or regulatory advice.

• Beekeeping involves live animals, tools, fire, and in some places regulated treatments and registration requirements. Always follow manufacturer instructions, local laws and guidance from your state or provincial apiary authority.
• Climate, forage, pests and regulations vary widely. Advice that works in one region may not be appropriate in another — verify recommendations for your own conditions.
• If you are allergic to bee stings or unsure about a medical matter, consult a qualified professional. For colony disease or pesticide incidents, contact a local veterinarian or apiary inspector.
