Chapter 4 – Management (pp. 35-52)
There is a balance between over management of a colony and lack of management, and it does take experience to recognize the right balance for both you and each of your colonies. As enthusiastic beginning beekeepers, the tendency is to open the hive more than is necessary. On the other hand, knowing when it is necessary and doing what needs to be done to monitor the health of the colony is critical to the survival of the colony.
