Ke ungazisebenzisa njani iintlobo ezahlukeneyo ze-honeps zokugcina umbhobho wokuqasha? Ngenxa ye-tests hoses hoses homps i-quamps ibonelela ngawo onke amacala e-hose okanye umbhobho, banokukhuphela ngokukhuselekileyo iziqwengana zibendaweni. Kwaye ngelixa oku akuyi kuphawula umbhobho ngonaphakade, inokubonelela ngolungiso olukhawulezileyo kufuneka ufumane amanzi kwaye uphinde ubaleke kwakhona.

• Kwimingxunya emincinci kakhulu, esonga iteyiphu yombane ejikeleze umbhobho ophindaphindiweyo. Xa unomngxunya ogutyungelwe kakuhle, amaqhina amancinci amancinci anokuqinisekisa itywina eliqinileyo (i-Albeit).
