4. Good beekeeping practice

Overview of good beekeeping practice
There is no single good beekeeping practice. Rather, there are rules based on common sense and the experience of seasoned or professional beekeepers. While the queen is indeed the driving force of the colony, hive cleanliness, control of varroa, swarm-prevention strategies, apiary location and preparation for overwintering are just as important for the proper development of the colony with a view to a good honey harvest.
