Effective management practices by beekeepers are vital for ensuring the health and longevity of honey bee colonies. Beekeeping methods can range from minimal to intensive interventions, involving decisions related to chemical usage, hive manipulations, and supplemental feeding of colonies.
Given the increasing pressure of varroa infestation on colonies, there is a growing interest in integrating biomechanical techniques with medical treatments to develop comprehensive control strategies. These strategies may involve tactics such as the removal of male brood through trapping or destruction, colony splitting, or the strategic use of queen caging. Staying informed about the latest trends and alternative methods is crucial, allowing beekeepers to adapt their control strategies effectively.
This section is dedicated to addressing the specific challenges faced by beekeepers in various aspects of apiculture. To facilitate this, a participation forum will be open for a few days before each scheduled webinar, offering a platform for collaborative problem-solving and knowledge exchange. Join us in exploring innovative hive management techniques, drone removal strategies, colony splitting methods, and queen caging approaches.
