1. Provide a source of water and pollen/nectar in the form of a bee-friendly garden or flower bed.
2. Place hives near your garden to encourage bees to stay nearby.
3. Make sure to provide a safe, dry home for the bees with an entrance that is at least 4 inches wide.
4. Avoid using pesticides around your hive as they can be harmful to bees.
5. Monitor the health of your bees regularly by checking the frames inside the hive.
6. Feed the bees sugar syrup or pollen substitute to keep them healthy and happy.
7. Consider adding a swarm box to your hive to help new bees find their way back home.
