1) Can I use BetterComb in my medium honey super, or just in my deep brood frames? 5:10

2) I am going to try Ross Rounds this year, I was wondering when I should put them on the hives and any other hints? 11:02

3) I have recently bought my first EPS hive. The company is called HiveIQ. I have just noticed that the bees have started chewing the polystyrene inside the lid. Have you had any experience with this issue? 18:43

4) I have a question about chickens. If I add a rooster to eight hens, would you say that the eggs would be fertile? 25:24

5) I am currently building your long lang hive, I was wondering what you use to winter that hive? Bee Cozy or do you wrap it? 27:05

6) With varroa being a vector for pathogens, do you want Drones that are bitten to possibly pass on their problems while mating? 34:01

7) I split my hives with varying levels of varroa mites. I've done most of my work in the fall, would this work in spring or is it too aggressive? 40:15
