Howdy, not sure if you saw a recent post regarding cleaning of the honey trough, posting a link below. However your Q-tip is a great idea. How far will they reach up into the channel?

The channel sometimes gets a bit of debris or old honey remaining, to clean the Flow frame channel, wrap a clean cloth around the Flow lever/key and push this up inside the channel after removing the end cap. A couple of goes sliding it up and down and your channel should be clean for the next harvest.
