Welcome! To Beekeeping Frequently Asked Questions Episode 18!
Today we discuss the following topics relevant to small-scale backyard bee management practices.
1) Am I going to publish a Beekeeping Journal? If not, why? What do you use?
2) Is there a best beehive design for beginners? Look for an entire video dedicated to the Flow-Hive Options coming up this week!
3) Holly Bushes are great for an apiary wind break and they provide loads of nectar early in the nectar flow season. Spring nectar sources.
4) Is there a way of protecting landing boards from rain or snow when the hive is too tall for the roof to be effective?
5) Do you have any hives that have survived for many years? How to choose which hives to split or reproduce from?
