What is the 7/10 rule in beekeeping?
You should not open your hive more often than once every two weeks. Inspections are stressful for bees and they disturb the carefully controlled atmospheric conditions within the hive. However, you should do regular inspections every 2-4 weeks to monitor your colonies health and progress.

Inspecting the hive Hold the frame by the top and inspect the brood thoroughly. Look for symptoms associated with established pests and diseases of honey bee colonies. Look for any queen bee cells on the comb surface and bottom side of the comb, and if present, remove to reduce swarming potential.
