Management

Good-practice basics for keeping bees safely and productively.

Siting Hives

  • Shade, shelter from wind and a water source nearby
  • Flowering crops, trees and hedges within reach

Safe Handling

  • Always wear protective gear and use a smoker

Healthy Colonies

  • Inspect hives regularly and record what you see
