Did you know bee welfare depends on more than just treating disease? ๐ค
A healthy colony relies on good hive placement, proper ventilation, and regular care throughout the season. Supporting bee wellbeing is the first step to a productive hive. ๐

Did you know hive material can affect moisture levels in winter? ๐ค
Poor ventilation can lead to condensation inside the hive, making overwintering harder for the colony.
Wooden hives manage moisture better, while polystyrene hives need more ventilation. ๐
Don't miss this chance to connect with the European beekeeping community! ๐๐
Join us in Lukovica, Slovenia, from 27 to 29 August 2026 for three days dedicated to the future of beekeeping.
