Our teacher sent 42 (yes, 42) tips for managing your hive. Some of the tips were actually multiple tips grouped together. Here are my six favorites, in reverse order:
(A)void rolling bees.
If bees come up, gently smoke them.
(My husband asks: how can you smoke them if you haven't rolled them?)
Remember that heat rises.
Do not burn yourself or anyone else.
Do not eat bananas before working your hive.
I like the "don't burn yourself" tip. I'll try to remember that.
ReplyDeleteIt's good for beekeepers and non-beekepers alike.
