There is quite a lot of regular maintenance that needs to be done. Wax has to be replaced, so when the honey is scraped off the combs, the wax goes into a different bucket to fix any damage done from harvesting. The houses wear out because they're exposed to weather, and of course, there's harvesting the honey itself. Always easier with another person.
[ More work comes in the fall, when the houses need to be moved, but that's for later. ]
