Checking the health status and maintaining healthy colonies is essential for the correct management of the colony.
Carrying out inspections for honeybee diseases before transferring colonies is essential first of all to avoid spreading diseases to other apiaries as well as to optimize your work. Sick or weak colonies are not productive and if they are moved for honey production it is a waste of time and work.
