    I am very interested in your "Bee" journey. I find them fascinating. Your Mentor is great. So patient and so willing to share his knowledge. You are very fortunate to have such a caring person. Loraine, you may be forever known as the "Crazy Bee Lady". :)

    That was great to see a novice doing this. Most videos just show experts so it was great to see someone trying to learn how to do basics like hold the frames. Great job Lorraine!

    Putting a swiffer pad, no chemicals just the dry pad inside the lid will trap 🪤 hive beetles and allow the bee’s to easily walk over it. HTH ❤🐝

    Learning use your j hook hive tool hold it horizontally with the blade down and then use the blade to pry sideways to break the frames loose and use the j hook on the other end to raise the end bars up so you can grab them.

    Lorraine, excellent job reading the room. You recognized that your mentor is a straight shooter and patient man, and that he had your back on getting this information out. You kept everyone on task and on topic with great information flowing like a waterfall. Glad your second Queen was ok. I gasped with you when he destroyed the cell lol. Keep up the great work! 👏

    So fun! He seems like a great mentor! One thing you might want to invest in is a frame perch. We used one in our bee class so I bought one for my hive. It hangs on the edge of your hive when you open it and you can place frames on it to hold it instead of setting it on the ground.
