Fred Dunn responds to questions about backyard beekeeping. All topics are listed below:
1) A paper presentation showed that Temp Queen doesn't stop new queen production.
2) Why didn't you use the Slatted Rack under the Keeper's Hive Two Queen System.
3) Do you still recommend BeeWeaver Queens or is there another line?
4) Not sure why a mouse guard is required with the Apiverte Hive Setup.
5) Are you not using slatted racks as much anymore?
6) Do you think bees will prefer a straight sugar brick?
7) I'm worried about early spring swarming in Seattle, Washington.
8) There is a Pro-Nuc that holds 5 frames for those not wanting the larger tote.
9) Can I use Oxalic Acid Dribble in November?
