  • Join weak bee colonies with other more productive ones.
  • When it’s building time for bees, provide honeycomb leaves by replacing old with new ones.
  • Replace old, unproductive queens by selecting younger ones.
  • Maintain hives on a regular basis, emphasizing on the protection of wood against humidity.
  • Attend various beekeeping seminars and become familiar with modern techniques for beehives management.
  • Frequently monitor and take care of their bees’ health and wellbeing.
  • Constantly check on food supplies and ensure proper nutrition, depending on the season.
  • Daily get informed on weather conditions nationwide, so that they are prepared for the next flowering period and the transfer of their hives
  • Ensure proper functioning and regular maintenance of their beekeeping truck, the most essential tool of a professional beekeeper.
