Bee Management.

Hi,

Managing African Bee is sometimes challenging in the sence that you may come across a colony that is very aggressive, you may also come across a colony that once harvested or inspected absconds the following day, you may also come across a colony that just make the combs across the bars or frames that makes work hectic.
For one to work with the African races, you need to be patient, skilled enough and also you need to be visiting the colonies frequently inorder to achieve the intended production. Thanks.

Fred.
