1) Could you please talk a little bit about your painting methods and your wax dipping process? 3:32
2) I went to check on a hive for winter feeding and was stung, why do you think that happened? 9:55
3) My bees are bringing in pollen, but nothing is blooming. Where do you think it may be coming from? 15:30
4) It's in the 40's and sunny, I've noticed bees digging in the dirt next to my home at the southern exposure. I put the same dirt next to the hives and they ignored it. Do they need something? 21:05
5) I'm building two Long Langstroth hives for spring. I plan on using wood frames with plastic foundation. Can I snap off the corners and invert the foundation so the openings are at the top? Do you think the bees will use the holes? 28:20
6) I can't see the dead bees in the hive, should I just clear them out blindly? How often should I clear the bottom board? 34:52

Hi Fred. Thanks for adding this podcast to your repertoire of informative productions! I love the fact that you also supply the timing of the questions with the podcast so that if you reference a visual I can go to the YouTube of the same date and see what you are doing. I’ve been following you for a year or so and have viewed most of the presentations. Great work. Thanks so much. Vicki L (Mid Hudson valley of NY)
