Topics included in this video are:
1) Saskatraz package install update after 29 days in their hives.
***What camera do you use for those closeup videos?***
2) Skunks in the bee yard, what do I do to prevent them?
3) Would a slanted inner cover prevent condensation from dripping down onto the bees? Why or why not?
4) I have a hot-hive with lots of varroa in it, I have honey coming in and don't want to ruin it! What's the best treatment?
5) You installed new Queens without waiting for the bees to go through the candy plug, how do you know when it's ok to use that method?
6) Can I separate the Queen from a swarm, or when doing a split? What's the best method? Shout out to Michael Palmer for suggesting a queen excluder.
7) What are honey bees mainly doing this time of year? What's their motivation?
8) How do you decide how large to make your entrance reducer opening? Do I need to have one when it's hot outside?
