These are today's topics -
1) I see a lot of beekeepers freely swapping resources from one hive to another. Is there no concern about parasites or disease cross contamination?
I highly recommend this field guide: https://extension.psu.edu/a-field-gui...
2) I'm wondering if you can provide some tactics, techniques, and procedure for conducting hive inspections during a dearth.

3) I always thought after a swarm, the new queen would emerge and kill all other queens. Can you discuss this subject again in next Friday's Q&A?
4) I have a ton of uncapped honey in my hives this year, and with the heat and humidity these last few weeks I suspect the bees are having a difficult time dehydrating the nectar into cappable honey.
Any other suggestions?

6) Will the Apimaye Hive allow for a Flow-Super to be put on top?
7) How do you deal with semi-full, semi-capped Flow Frame Supers when reducing hives for winter?
8) I was wondering if you would talk about diagnosing the state of a hive using all the various different things that fall onto the bottom board?
9) Regarding your swarm capture with your grandson, if you had caught the queen and forced them all into one of these two hives that they rejected they would have probably swarmed out relatively quickly. Was the entrance of the chosen hive facing the same direction as the ones they rejected?
See the swarm capture video with my grandson here:

10) How and when can I swap out frames that came in my two nucleus hives from May? They were well used and need to be replaced.
