How to maintain your hive

  • Check your hive regularly for bee activity.

  • Check that bees are regularly returning to the hive with pollen.

  • Look for bees regularly leaving the hive with egg casings.

  • Weigh the hive and remove any cobwebs from around the hive.

  • Look for other signs of distress or any irregular smells coming from the hive.
