1) Do honey bees take to waxed foundation that has been stored for a while, slower than newly waxed foundation? 2:40
2) I just learned that the carpenter who built your favorite nucleus for BetterBee has passed away. Very sad. 5:00
3) It appears that you have changed your mind on slatted rack usage. What are your thoughts now? I'm thinking they will help with hot days. 19:39
4) It seems one advantage to insulated hives if you want to do OA Vaporization, the bees cluster is not as tight. What are your thoughts on this? 23:37
5) I'm starting in spring with two nucleus colonies. In this video, you referenced Dr. Thomas Seeley, saying he had researched the subject of hive configurations. Which book can I find that information in? 41:00
6) I had heard that toxins become dissolved in beeswax, so I burned up the old brood comb that I was retiring. I heard beekeepers saying that the oldest, blackest, dirtiest comb can be rendered into beautiful yellow was. 28:27
7) Being that a hive is plastic, could it get too hot in the hive? 34:45
8) Some time back, you said that small and tall is a good configuration for bees. 5 frame nucs. I was thinking, for those not vested in extraction equipment, how to add a Flow-Hive Super? 38:00
