Avoid exposed honey/syrup

Avoiding exposed honey or syrup in the apiary is a crucial preventative measure against robbing. Exposed sugary substances attract robber bees and can trigger robbing behavior. Beekeepers should avoid leaving honey supers or open feeders with syrup exposed in the apiary, especially during nectar dearths. Clean up any honey or syrup spills promptly. When feeding is necessary, use internal hive feeders that minimize external access to the feed. This 'none' type solution relies on careful beekeeping practices and apiary hygiene. No specific equipment is needed, but diligent cleaning and careful feeding practices are essential.
