Proper examination of the bee colonies

Success of beekeeping also depends upon proper understanding of bee behaviour and manipulating the colonies accordingly. For manipulation of colonies in modern hives, as per needs of the bees, examination is frequently required.

Handling of Bee colonies

For management of honey bees in modern beekeeping, examination of colonies forms one of the important aspects. But whenever we talk about examination of bee colonies, there is general fear of stinging by bees. It is to be made clear here that if we are aware of bee behaviour, stinging can be prevented. Bees sting only for their own protection and after stinging they die. If all the precautions are taken before examination of colonies we can avoid stinging by bees.
