1) Can you make a recommendation on what make and model of camera might be useful in monitoring hives? 2:15
2) One of my hives swarmed during 40 deg weather. I haven't seen any drones in months. Now it's 21 deg. 18:26
3) I have a question regarding fall feeding. Should we be feeding protein, sugar syrup? What's your opinion regarding building up a colony going into winter? 22:00
4) Should I leave my beetle Guardian entrances on all hives? 32:08
5) I have three medium boxes and want to swap for a deep box in spring. Would I just add the deep? Or remove some of the mediums? 37:21
6) I fed my bees sugar syrup with honey-B-healthy in it. During my last inspection, I damaged some comb and the honey tasted of HBH. Can I recycle these frames back to the bees to remove that taste? 43:34
7) After reading this article, I was wondering about screen bottom boards and venting holes in a hive. What are your thoughts on the subject? 46:26
8) I've noticed that B and R Weaver are the same on google Map. Same Family. BeeWeaver sells only Nucs and R Weaver sells packages. Would you please post information on B and R Weaver, informing that they have the same genetics? 58:13
