Beekeeping by the Numbers: Colonies, Mite Counts, Feeding, Splits & Honey Harvest
Run a fictional hobby apiary with numbers: equipment cost per hive, brood cycles and build-up, mite counts per 100 bees (counting only), split calendars, syrup and winter stores, honey harvest and jars, prices and pollination fees and a season dashboard, with every cell checked as you go.

About this course
This course turns a beekeeping season into spreadsheet work you can check. In a fictional hobby apiary you price the equipment for each hive and turn it into an order, date the brood cycle and chart the spring build-up, and convert mite counts into mites per 100 bees with monitoring bands and trends (counting only, no treatments). You plan a split calendar, mix syrup by weight and fill fictional winter-store targets, estimate the honey harvest with extraction yield and a moisture check, count jars, price honey per jar across sales channels, cost a pollination contract and close the season with a P&L dashboard.
