      Not as often as I probably should , I have to admit . My philosophy   
   is that the bees have been doing their thing for thousands of years ...   
   I've been doing this for ten . I do need to have a look now though , get   
   a handle on whether I need to do some splits . I'd rather focus on honey   
   production this year , we haven't harvested any for 3 or 4 years .   
   Mother Nature has not been kind to the bees here lately , weather   
   conditions have not been favorable for nectar production .
