*3.2.9 Antibiotics*

The principle of natural beekeeping (KYAMENABEE) is to produce apicultural products using healthy colonies. It is therefore necessary to keep the bee hives clean all the time and protect the colonies from diseases by performing cleaning and fumigation. It is important to avoid artificial mating which leads to the weakening of colonies and antibiotics should not be used to prevent diseases and infections. Methods for improvement of the health of colonies should be adopted before using antibiotics.
