2:11 I would have put the brood frame between the other honey super frames instead of on the end in the super box. The queen normally lays her eggs around a 3-dimenstional center (hence, center both longitudinal and latitudual), like a sliced ball across the brood frames in the brood box. The temperature and humidity are appropriately regulated in the center by the worker bees for ideal brood nursing as well. Hence, placing the brood frame on the end like that exposes it to non-ideal temperature and humidity conditions for brooding, especially if the external conditions are extreme hot summer or extreme cold winter conditions. With an insulation R-value of less than 1 for wood that thin, it's hardly a perfect insulator ... plus wood has wicking properties that allows it to retain moisture. If bees do hatch from that mis-placed brood frame, they're going to be sick bees off to a bad start in life.
I had to check my hive I have 2 brood boxes so as I pulled the frames out of the top box so I could inspect the bottom box how do I put the top box back on without squishing the bees, I tried to brush the bees off edges but more just kept coming I feel terrible because some of them I believe got squished.
Wow the location is awesome.. like heaven

Great information.
Thanks for watching!
Great job ❤
Thank you! 😄
Great suggestions. Yet it is always perfectly fine to leave those darker frames in a hive up to 7 years!
it really depends on what you notice, a frame with all that propolis is best to get rid of, as the bees really cant do a lot with it. -Kieran

A little blow of smoke before placing the brood box can help.
Thanks❤
You're welcome 😊
