Will a Keepers Hive work for Comb Honey? Something NEW is coming out on Monday. Ants are killing bee colonies, how to stop them.
Today's topics are listed in order:
1) Keepers Hive with the two queen system, can I run two 10-frame deeps and then combine above them?
Learn from the inventors right here: https://www.youtube.com/@UCxz9DrHZqE1tVWefSmqqjrg
2) Instead of stacking supers onto the hive during the year, can I pull them off and store them for later processing?
Use Code FRED05 if you go to Hive Butler, I receive zero compensation but you get 5% off.
3) When heater bees heat the six adjoining cells, what about the other side of the comb?
4) With Flow-Frames, why to you recommend 1/2 or 1/3 opening at a time?

NOTE: I will be placing Flow-Supers on my Keepers Hive during 2025, the videos will be posted on the page linked above.
5) What's the correct ration of sugar to water if I want to dissolve leftover Hive Alive fondant packs and liquify them?
