1) My hive was being buzzed by carpenter bees, they also bored a hole into the outside corner. 1:55

2) My Swarm Trap that you described, worked and I have a swarm in it. Do I have to take it 3 miles and bring it back? 13:25

3) My wife was chased away by a single honey bee, it was like the terminator! 16:00

4) I think my bees are being robbed, is there anything else I can do? 17:48

5) I would appreciate your wisdom on these two photos, my hive seems to be under attack. Why are the bees hanging around? 21:26

6) I have mouse guards on my hives, can the drones get through them? 24:18

7) Do you think that adding tree resin, say in a corner of the hive, might be used by the bees to help with the propolis envelope? 27:36

8) I installed a new mated queen, but have found little to no eggs. There are now queen cells. Do you have any guidance on this? 31:52

9) Is it possible that rather than a virgin queen making a mating flight, the drones can come right into the hive? 37:54

10) I have a package of bees installed and they are taking two quarts of sugar syrup daily. How long would you recommend I continue feeding? 40:39

11) My queen and all drawn comb are in the upper box, in the lower box there are 4 frames that are hardly drawn out. Can I swap upper and lower frames? 44:53

12) I made a split and the new hive is doing great. The original hive shows no evidence of a mated queen. Can I merge the hives? 48:15

13) I noticed some workers removing a drone that was missing his reproductive organ, can a DCA be on the ground? Why so many drones? 51:06

14) Do Pseudo Scorpions and Sphagnum Moss in the bottom of your hive fight varroa destructor mites? 54:30
