This live Q&A takes us into the hive as spring gets underway, with a look at honey-filled Flow Frames, a live honey harvest, and an inspection of Flow Frames that the bees are just beginning to work on. Cedar also answers questions from the Flow Forum community about encouraging bees onto Flow Frames, bee communication and the waggle dance, caring for weak colonies, and managing wax moth.
The discussion also covers varroa management, including formic and oxalic acid treatments, preparing hives for winter, protecting hives from bears, and what to look for when honey appears unusual after harvesting. It’s a great behind-the-scenes look at seasonal hive management, harvesting honey with a Flow Hive, and some of the fascinating things honeybees do every day.
