Part 4/5:
David points out that the behavior of the bees is an essential indicator of the hive's status. When a queen is absent, the bees exhibit notable distress, as evidenced by increased noise levels. Observing these cues can give beekeepers critical information about their hives—such as the location of the queen and the overall health of the colony.
Community Engagement
In addition to offering practical tips, David extends an invitation to the beekeeping community to engage with other local beekeepers through events like Beekeeping Coffee Chats. These gatherings provide a relaxed environment for novice beekeepers to share experiences and gain insights from more experienced members in the field.
