Managing Colony Numbers.

 It has struck me for a while that a lot of beekeepers end up with either less colonies than they are after, whilst others struggle to keep their numbers under control, and seem to be increasing until they end up with more than they can handle/ wanted the first place. This talk will explain how the beekeeper can take control over the number of colonies they have, rather than the bees dictating as often seems the case.
