Pollen loss<br />

When <strong>the</strong> hive entrance is too narrow or its ridges too<br />

sharp, <strong>the</strong> bees often lose <strong>the</strong> pollen-loads <strong>the</strong>y have<br />

so laboriously collected in hazardous conditions. Each<br />

hive entrance should be equipped with a device enabling<br />

its height and width to be altered depending on<br />

<strong>the</strong> season and strength of <strong>the</strong> colony.<br />
