1) I found a commercial and they are advertising 6 frame flow hives for 78% off for $110.00. Is this a true Flow-Hive? 3:37

2) I would like clarification on the three OA vaporization treatment intervals to make sure all drone brood are treated. 10:06

3) I have a question about painting the BeeMax polystyrene covers, is there a particular paint? 33:19

4) Should I be ordering a new queen every two years? What about the hive replacing or producing a new queen on their own? 35:30

5) I am buying in 3 Bee Packages in March of 2021. Should I plan on using OA treatment as they go into the new hives? Or use Apivar Strips before they start making brood? 42:01

6) Turns out that bees have magnetic abdomens and exposure to magnetic forces can disrupt the way they communicate in the hive and their behaviors. 46:13

7) How do they make fat bees for winter? Does the Queen lay eggs for the fat bees all winter? And when does she stop? 58:20
