Irresponsible Beekeeping
Session 1
Irresponsible Beekeeping
Examples of irresponsible beekeeping:
1. Placing one or more beehives in your backyard, orchard or on your land and leaving them to themselves, never open the hive to assess their needs and health status, is irresponsible beekeeping.
2. Setting up the hive, separating the brood box below from the honey box on top with a queen excluder, and every now and then only open the top box to harvest some honey, never care to check the brood box, is irresponsible beekeeping.
3. Setting up a "Flow Hive" and every now and then only open the tap to harvest some honey, never care to check the brood box, is irresponsible beekeeping.
You cannot call yourself a beekeeper when you don’t manage your hives!
