1) I was wondering if I can still use the oxalic drip method to treat my bees when it's mid 50's to 60's? 1:54
2) Almost all of my bees died and their bodies were outside the hive. Is it safe to harvest the full medium box of capped honey? 9:03
3) When caging the Queen with the single frame excluder, why must you wait 14 days before releasing her? Isn't is possible that she could have just laid eggs in the open portion? 16:45
4) if I wrap a hive in insulation and achieve complete disappearance of a heat ball with a thermal camera, then they must be warm for winter, right? 23:05
5) Honey bees will use the Hive Alive Fondant packs on the inner cover and consume the fondant right inside the plastic pack. 31:10
6) How do you make your queens, did you graft them? 32:26 7) I noticed that you still have spirulina on the shelf, but haven't heard you mention it this year. Do you continue to use it and if so when? 43:54
