A good beginners book on beekeeping will usually have such a list or at least mentions things that need to be done throughout the year as you read from chapter to chapter.   

One of the main things is that Winter was created so that beekeepers have time to build new equipment--make it before you need it.  Trying to build a hive with the swarm hanging in a apple tree is being behind the game. 

End of Winter--Feb or March--check if weather permits and feed a little 1:1 syrup to get them going.
Early spring--Mar or April--Inspect hive, place some empty frames on each side of the brood chamber (in however many boxes you find brood) and move the pulled frames into the super you put on.  This is a key to swarm pervention.
Late Spring and Summer--April to August--Super using the 80/20 rule: when 80 percent of the super is drawn out add another.
late Summer--September--Harvest your honey crop feed your bees a little 2:1 syrup to make sure they have enough stores for winter.
Winter--Build what you will need for next year or repair what broke this year.

Everything else is on the fly, handle any problems as they are noticed.

Right not, in Texas and California and Florida and probably many other places in the South this is prime swarm season.  Here, I'm hoping it will get warm enough that the bees can fly.  In Ontario and Saskatchewan and Alberta, they are hoping for a thaw so they can see if their bees survived the winter.

All of this is very climate specific.
