When you are doing an inspection what would be 5 tips to do?
I am not saying the top 5 just 5 things you do, that help you manage your bees?
I would say my 5 tips would be
1/ Watch the entrance, if bees are coming and going, there are bees in there to inspect
2/ if you see eggs laid pointing up and out of the cell, then the queens has laid that egg in the last 24hours
3/ heft the hive every time you visit so when it gets to Autumn, you can start to understand hive weight and stores inside
4/ always check the hive after youve put it back together, to make sure its put together correctlty
5/always check the hive body before you start to do an inspection so you know if any thing needs replacing
