1) What do you think of using Elmer's glue to seal up small hive beetle hiding places, AND, would it be a better idea to mow and trim at night when bees aren't flying? 4:46
2) Curious about your take on using the Checker-boarding technique to prevent swarming? 10:46
3) I had a flow-hive colony swarm as I was told not to use the second brood box before adding the flow-super. Did I do the right thing? 16:29
4) I would like to make some new colonies from a 3 year old queen as she's very good. How can I do that when they don't make swarm cells? 23:27
5) Please describe how you keep extra nucleus hives in order to have emergency queens ready to go? Please describe the procedure. 29:13
6) Is there a reason that the entrance on a Long Langstroth Hive can't be on the short end instead of the long side? 39:07
7) I started with two hives in February and now have 8 hives. I will be changing to long hives and want queens with traits that include expanding a colony horizontally instead of vertically. How would I go about finding such queens? 41:24
8) Have you published your Long Langstroth Hive plans yet? 46:29
