Hives can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Depending upon the amount of honey in a hive, they can become very heavy, and it is critical to choose a hive that you are physically able to manage. Each individual comb in a top bar may weigh 4.5kg. A hive box though can easily weigh 16 kg or more. In this course, you'll learn about types of hives, how to choose a hive, and how to open your hive safely. Includes easy-to-follow instructions on how to inspect your hives.
