Client handout: 4 tips for a grade A apiary

As a veterinary professional, you know that Benjamin Franklin was onto something when he said that an ounce of prevention was worth a pound of cure. That's why you spend so much time, energy and resources on preventing illness in your patients-often in the form of client communication.
