The problems affecting the individual colonies will be the same no matter how many you have and the answers will vary in a quantitative not qualitative way. I want first to deal with the year s work in the apiary in broad terms leaving the details of manipulation to the next chapter in order to show beekeeping as an on-going process in which the beekeeper is trying to make his colonies productive units from which he can take a crop. My training and inclination is towards getting each colony to produce about the same amount of honey if possible. This is the intensive method of keeping bees rather than the extensive where more colonies are kept than can be adequately controlled and a planned percentage of unproductive colonies is accepted. Carried to an extreme the extensive method produces the leave alone beekeeper who never looks at the brood chamber of his colonies but merely puts on supers and takes any crop he is lucky enough to find at the end of the year. This is antisocial behaviour on the part of the beekeeper as he runs the risk of retaining disease in his colonies for unnecessarily long periods and makes his colonies a possible source of danger to his fellow beekeepers as well as spraying the neighbourhood with stray swarms which are a nuisance to everyone. It is impossible to call this owner of bees a beekeeper. Any beekeeper should look after his stock and ensure it is not a source of trouble to anyone else beekeeper or non-beekeeper. The methods set out below therefore entail some work although this will be kept to a minimum and can be reduced somewhat as the practitioner becomes more experienced. The beekeeping year starts at the end of August and the beginning of September when the honey has been taken off and the colonies are being got ready for winter. The aim is to see that every colony has a good start
