Assistant: weak colonies

Explore important insights from your apiary: number of weak bee colonies.

Weak colonies:

– build up slowly;

– do not develop into strong colonies if they are left alone;

– have a smaller number of foraging bees;

– produce little honey even if a good nectar flow exists;

– are vulnerable to robbing by robber bees from stronger colonies.

In order to boost the weak colony you can do the following:

– transfer frames of sealed brood from a strong colony,

– requeen or

– unite with other colony.
