Welcome and thank you for joining another Beginner Backyard Beekeeping discussion!
Here is what we're discussing today:
1) Should you swap your brood boxes?
2) What are your thoughts on Dr Leo and anti-treatment of varroa mites etc.
Here is Dr. Leo's newest published book: https://amzn.to/2TuARAv
3) Pondering the division of labor in a beehive, who actually leaves when the bees swarm?
4) What is your favorite inner cover material and why?
5) Should I pull a frame from a new nucleus package and put it in my package of bees when they arrive? Why or why not?
6) Do you have a favorite bee suit, what is it and why?

8) Bee pheromones puzzle me, are they smell, tactile transmitted or what? Will a snelgrove double screen dividing board prohibit transmission of the queen pheromone, how and why?
9) Do adult bees actually eat the pollen patties, or do they just feed them to the larvae or do they get rid of it unused? https://amzn.to/38yhsTw
10) Upper entrances and venting, what do you do or not do and why?
If you'd rather draw off individual honey frames to prevent your hive becoming honey-bound, flow-hives work for that.
