1) So how do you like the Hive Gate? Over the winter, will it be necessary to pull it out to clean it? 1:55
2) What do you do with your frames after harvesting honey? Is it ok to put a box of harvested honey frames back on top? 10:53
3) I have questions regarding thermal hive treatments for varroa mites. Is it also possible that hot weather can kill the mites in my hives? 18:47
4) I tried to set my honey frames out for the bees to clean, but they are killing each other and ripping apart all that beautiful drawn comb. Also, how do I keep the bees from backfilling the extracted frames? 29:44
5) Last year I made a skirt of double-bubble to insulate my hive to the ground. Also, is there a tape that holds up well to winter? 38:07
