1) I have small hive beetles on my frames along with larvae. Is it wise to put them in the freezer and then replace in the hives for the bees? 1:26 2) How can I handle/tread mold on the inside of my telescoping cover and on the landing board? 10:09
3) I would like to create a large pollinator plot with 2+ acres. What would be the best for feeding the bees? 12:11
4) Should I have a bee-escape in the lid of my HiveButler so the bees can get out? 18:25
5) I stored unused hive frames (triple wax coated) in the garage and was surprised to find that roaches and wax worms were eating them. A tale of warning for your listeners! 24:01
6) Would it be worth it to paint my swarm trap hive the same color(s) as the hive they are coming from in order to encourage them to occupy it? 28:30
