Their most important task is to make sure that there is always a constant and steady flow of clean and fresh water near the apiary. This is because bees \u201cwork\u201d to ensure a stable temperature inside their hive. By moving their wings, they are like a living &#8220;A\/C system&#8221; and thanks to the water provided by their beekeeper, they create optimal conditions for the beehive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">There are also some activities to be done per month. In particular:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>June<\/b>: beekeepers must be updated on the flowering of each area, and calculate the time that bees spend therein. When near firs, this period must not exceed 20-25 days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>July<\/b>: in southern areas, with heatwaves and drought, beehives should not be directly exposed to the sun. For providing extra shading, beekeepers place grasses on the outer caps of the beehives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>August<\/b>: Temperatures in August are very high. In pine-clad areas in particular, a water source, near or even inside the hive, is a must. Also, this is the month when beekeepers must be alert to wildfires due to the heat wave.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In summer, due to the constant transfer of hives and the high temperatures, beekeepers&#8217; work is really demanding.
