The European foul brood scale is a perfect example of where scale is located. The scale is on the bottom of the cell and not on the back of the cell. A perfect picture at 27:15
By far one of the best videos on reading frames I've seen. Healthy and unhealthy.

Thank you so very much for this. I have been searchinng for more information on frame reading. I am a newbie. I am still deciding what type of hive to get , top bar, Langstroth ect. Your presentation gave me a great deal of knowledge and satisfaction. This was simply fantastic!

So for supercedure cells and swarm cells for new queens, in nature do the bees typically swarm before the new queen cells actually hatch? Or are they swarming after they know there's a virgin for sure already hatched, and playing it safe? (And is it typically always the same?)
I just realized I'd been so worried for the longest time about making sure I catch the swarms early that I had put a mental block on myself for not fully thinking through the exact timing of when the swarm is going to naturally split if humans aren't there to (mess it up?) manage the splits with boxes before a natural swarm.

Thanks for this! Parks are you going to film Billy Davis elucidating his degree days ideas?

[@DuncanHeather]

Here is the article Landi referred to: bee-quick.com/reprints/budding.pdf

[@Westernwilson]

Thankyou Duncan!

Westernwilson Your welcome nwnjba also did a video on degree days although its a bit 'muddled' but still may be helpful

All good but there is much more going on inside a hive than just bees.Just like a garden is not all about the plants.I really would like to see more people thinking about the soil,and the millions of organisms that live there.They are the building blocks of life.There are over 8000 organisms in the hive that have been catalogued to date.In our quest to save the bee maybe we should look at the organisms. Think outside the box for a while you will be surprised what you learn.

[@arogue469]

Please share some examples of what you mean!

[@jonathanwalker6521]

If you had a virgin wouldn't there be an empty queen cell?

[@beebob1279]

They can get torn down pretty quickly
