Frederick P. Proni on the importance of colony equalization

Beekeeping is full of challenges and opportunity. We focus on the health and sustainability of our bees so intensely that occasionally we may not be addressing colony population. Equalization is the task of redefining colony strength within an apiary encouraging all colonies to be equal in population, resources, and ultimately structure. This standardization is key allowing us as beekeepers to be quicker and more efficient in our inspections and anticipations within the bee yard.

Frederick (Freddy) Proni, is an EAS Certified Master Beekeeper and is the North American and Japan area manager for  Veto-pharma who also serves the North Carolina State Beekeepers Association (NCSBA) as first vice-president. He is a  former full-time beekeeper, with an extensive background in business, who has thirty years combined experience in  honey production, commercial honey brokering/packaging, and queen rearing. Freddy lectures about the business  aspects of beekeeping and is actively engaged with the Farm Bureau and other agriculture and honey bee related  organizations as represents industry in a working group of the Honey Bee Health Coalition.
