Chapters: 00:00 Introduction

09:26 Since you have taken down fences around your apiary, what's the brand of the noise-maker you are using?

20:13 I tried to introduce replacement queens two times, the queens disappeared. One seller suggested it was due to direct release. Do you have any ideas?

32:12 I have two deeps under one Flow-Hive. When is the best time to remove a deep and replace with a medium?

40:18 My Bee Suit does not seem thick enough to defeat a stinger.

45:35 I want to re-use my wood frames. Any suggestions for getting wax out of the groove?

48:17 One of my hives is bringing out dead drone brood, is it varroa or something else?

52:09 I thought soybeans are wind pollinated. I've never seen a bee of any type on any bean flowers.

56:52 I've noticed an abundance of pollen on frames. Can they become pollen-bound?

01:02:07 We can't seem to get our bees to use the Flow-Super. Any suggestions?

01:10:15 With the Long Langstroth Hive, Where do you add frames when you add them?

01:16:54 I videoed bees collecting was from rendered beeswax. Would it be good to leave some out for them?
