Today's topics are listed below:

1) Hummingbirds get 1:4 syrup, How thin should the syrup be?

2) I attempted to use the Queen Introduction Cage and ended up with no queen, and lots of small hive beetle larvae.

3) I have a pool and was provided BTI granular to kill mosquito larvae. What are your thoughts?

4) How can we guarantee we don't smash bees in the Flow Hive?

5) I was told that honey frames in freezers can increase moisture content.

6) I Love the Switch Grass pellets, but how do you light them? What's the procedure?

7) Do you see a problem with long extension cords not providing enough power for my OAV unit?

8) I'm looking for a recommendation for an electric extractor.

These are the best quality extractors I've come across anywhere. Please tell them Frederick Dunn sent you so you can pay the same as everyone else.
