    What that queen was doing was wild! I have never seen that before. Perhaps she didn't like the paint job and was hiding her head in shame! Making me wait until the end for the whayat hive - well played! Those robbers were following you around like you were driving the ice cream truck.

      Foundation is for the beekeeper, not the bees. It doesn't give them a head start and may do the opposite. It encourages them to put worker brood in the brood box instead of drone brood. That is about it.

    Didn’t see any eggs , larvae or capped brood in the 3rd box , do you think she could be a virgin Queen ? Here in Florida even in our brief cooler weather it’s usually unlikely that queens get mated that late in the season. Your thoughts … Really enjoy your videos , well done !

    Maybe you could take a frame from a more well off Hive and transplant it to one that isn’t doing well just to get the hives that might not make it just over the line. Although this might not work unless you can confirm that both the troubled hives have queens and you don’t want to put a good hive into the same position as the others by taking too much so it can be a bit of a risk or if you think one hive isn’t likely to survive you could use the resources from that one to save the other in a triage type of situation where it’s not as tragic given your at least able to save a hive rather than loosing both.

    If you want better honey you need happier, healthier bees. You move too fast and need to make slower movements, make less noise, and not use a loud vaccuum with them. In some of your videos i see you put the hives of comb on the ground, this can contaminate your honey and possibly spread disease. When you disorient the bees by tearing into the hive you need to be mindful of how you're going about it to get the best results :) if you get bad tasting honey it could be that it's contaminated or there's just too much moisture in the hive. You can do this by making holes on the bottom so debris can also fall through when the bees tidy up all the time. Also, making a vent at the top of the hives can prevent them from overheating and making your honey go bad.
