The occurrence of robbing may be reduced by keeping strong colonies, monitoring the food supplies in all colonies so that they are balanced and, depending on weather conditions, keeping the hive entrance relatively closed. Moreover, also the health conditions of some colonies may trigger robbing so it is important to monitor if colonies are struggling due to diseases or other external causes.
