33:32 4) I plan to use rigid insulation for inside hive insulation to take place of two frames.

1:00:21 10) Does the queen choose to lay in drone frames, or is there a specific trigger?

1:05:32 11) As we are past the time for liquid feed, how would I go about using HiveAlive in my hives? Should I wait for spring? ______________

1:08:57 12) Did my honey crystallize because I fed 2:1 sugar syrup in winter? Or is there another reason it crystalized so fast? ______________

1:19:18 13) I bought some land with woodchucks, skunks, and raccoons. Will they bother my bees?
