The American beekeeper and philosopher Richard Taylor once wrote:
'Ask any beekeeper what they think is their biggest, single, most troublesome problem and the chances are they'll say 'swarming', Yet in fact, the costs of swarming, in terms of reduced honey crops, probably do not even come close to those resulting from winter losses.'He went on to add that, 'a swarmed colony, though weakened and perhaps a source of depression to its owner, is no special problem. A dead hive in spring, on the other hand, is often an appalling thing to contemplate and an irksome chore to restore.'
This books brings together the advice and suggestions of many experienced beekeepers to help you reduce winter losses of honey bee colonies so that you are greeted by the buzz of your bees in the spring.
