Today we're talking about fondant in Layens hives, what about OAV with Varroxsan in the hive at the same time.

Today's topics are listed below:

00:00 Introduction

08:04 1) I have Varroxsan strips in my hive, can I also do OAV?

14:12 2) With a Flow-Hive, how can I get comb honey?

16:36 3) Do you prefer the single or double Queen Isolation Cage?

22:05 4) How much insulation and why?

34:32 5) Place fondant packs on hive frames, or above the insulated inner cover?

39:51 6) Eco-Wood good for roofs, or should I paint it?

43:13 7) How can I feed fondant in a Layens Frame system?

48:25 8) Does black foundation make a difference?
