The green frame is for drones in the way you can use it for mite control. Mites like drones better because they are bigger. Let it fill up get capped over and then freeze it. It will kill everything on that frame including all the mites, in theory reducing the numbers of mites without sacrificing workers. Good luck!
@TechsteadLife your welcome! I just got my first colony as well (went for a nuc) and I get to do my first real inspection this weekend. Glad to see your girls are doing well

Oh that makes so much sense! We didn't really get into that in the bee class, so that's really helpful. Thanks for your comment!

Nice! Good luck I hope it goes well for you! We would have gotten a nuc for a second one but they were all sold out around us
Great video we can learn with you
Yes we can! Can't wait to get some honey!
