The beekeeper's year begins with a late winter hive inspection and
ends with "putting the bees to bed" in the autumn. Richard Bonney
believes that each beekeeping activity should be performed with an
eye toward the overall well-being of the colony, as part of an
integrated year-round program of hive management.
Long-term success in beekeeping can only be achieved by
understanding the intimate lives, behaviors, and motivations of
honey bees -- the factors which govern the life of each colony.
Richard Bonney explains the reasons behind common practices that
many beekeepers perform without really knowing why. He also
stresses when to take timely actions that will prevent problems in
future seasons.
Hive Management offers concise, up-to-date information on the
whole range of beekeeping tasks, including:
-- How to prevent, control, and capture swarms.
-- What you can tell from an outside inspection of your
hives.
-- When and how to "take the crop" and harvest honey.
-- How to successfully requeen -- from handling and marking
queens to methods of introducing one into a hive.
-- The problem signs to look for when you open up a hive.
For the practicing beekeeper who needs more information, or for
the serious novice who wants to start out right, Hive Management
offers sensible advice to help keep your honey bees thriving.
