Thanks so much for the videos, they really help us less experienced beekeepers. Where do you get your queen cells from? Could you intentionally keep a nuc small so they would produce swarm cells?

The bees will stick the lid down and you can’t get the lid off if you don’t use an inner cover of some sort. It’s much easier to remove the lid and peel off the plastic.

Love your vids Bro. Why do you use a sheet of plastic on top of the frames? I notice some people use feed sac material as well. Why?

Where do you get your styrofoam nucs?
