Backyard Beekeeping Questions and Answers Episode 248, ready for spring?

Welcome to another episode of beekeeping topics.
We're concentrating on spring, and receiving your new package and more.
If you a concern or question that just won't wait, please join us at The Way To Bee Fellowship: / 3062274013832702
Today's topics are in the order below:
1) How can we modify our Top Bar Hive management with your methods?
2) My Long Hive is painted yellow, I heard bees don't like yellow, does color matter?
3) My bees congregated on our chicken feeder. Do I need to supplement them with pollen?
4) I have at least 10 frames of honey, nectar and pollen in my freezer that I would like to give back to the bees.
5) I have old comb that has much brood. What are your suggestions on how to get them out of the hive? I want to phase this comb out.

6) If I place a chunk of beeswax inside a hive, will the bees use it to make new wax? What if I grate it?
7) How does the queen find the new location when the hive swarms? Do the workers waggle dance to show her?
8) Do you know of a laboratory we could send samples of our comb or propolis to test for toxins?
9) I wonder if you could remind folks to check their orders promptly for hitch hikers? I just found 2 large cockroaches in a box of foundation.
