Place your hive in a spot that receives morning sunlight, is shielded from strong winds, and has ample forage nearby.
2. Prepare the Hive
Rub beeswax inside the hive to make it more attractive. Avoid using chemicals or strong-smelling materials.
3. Regular Maintenance
Inspect hives for pests, leaks, and signs of damage. Address issues promptly to maintain a healthy environment.
4. Provide Adequate Food
Ensure the bees have access to food(flowers and water) throughout the year, especially during dearth periods.
5. Minimize Disturbance
Place the hive on a strong, stable base to reduce shaking or vibrations that can disturb the colony. Avoid moving the hive unnecessarily and handle it gently during inspections or maintenance.
