hive or the skep, in which the colony can close itself off from the world. The skep is so arranged that within it the division-of-labour life of the bees can unfold under the eyes and the guiding hand of the beekeeper. And when swarming comes, he ensures that the bee colony does not vanish into the wild and ultimately to its ruin, but is caught in the swarm cluster and assigned a new dwelling. He further ensures that the apiary or the individual hives have their position in the vicinity of the farm, where from spring to autumn blossoming things are to be found in the fields, and where through the winter the well-being of the hive can be regularly observed and appropriate treatments carried out.
