Strong vs weak hives.\nLook for queen cells and other signs of failing queen. Supercedure vs. swarm cell.\nLook for eggs even if you don’t see the queen.\nWinterize a hive. Move top bees in super into bottom box. Evaluate for strength.\nHow to do a sugar and alcohol roll for Varroa count and a sticky board count.\nHow to medicate hive (PULL ALL HONEY OFF FOR EXTRACTING BEFORE MEDICATING).\nDiscuss foundation vs. comb frames and feeding to draw out frames.\nShow Feeders and pollen patties.\nHow to feed a hive with sugar water and pollen patty.\n\n\n\nSpring feeding ratio: To stimulate colony growth and comb production.
