Good talk on rearing queens. Please keep in mind that Michael Palmer has what he calls his brood factory. Which he uses to supply young bees to his queen starters. He also does not use a incubator he feels the bees know what to do, and they can do it better.
Why aren't the slides shown? Zoom lets you switch the recording focus to the presentation slides and put the speaker into a side window. If you don't know how to do this, please pull the camera back 10ft so we can see everything.
Just an FYI...the 2 frame nooks at Barnyard Bee's are made from OSB/Advantech's plywood, not MDF....MDF will swell up as soon as it gets wet...even if its painted. Also, Bob Binnie is using Caucasian Queen's for their propolis production and not Carniolan Bees.
Thank you for sharing this information!
very well done. Thanks Michael Hardman.

Seems this was figured out around 12min in. You can also mute other zoom attendees so that they don't flip the camera due to phone noises.
