We’re back with The Bee Buzz! In this episode, I recap a wild cross-country trip that ended in a busted transmission, a used car purchase, and the world's best Applebee’s salmon. Then we jump into your beekeeping questions.

• Weekly inspections vs bi-weekly: what you risk by skipping
• Reversing boxes vs adding space — what actually matters
• When and how to rotate or replace frames
• Signs your bees are running out of room
• Queen cells: when to panic, when to leave them alone
• How to time spring feeding, splits, and adding supers
• Swarm traps, package installs, brood patterns, and more

This Bee Buzz is packed with practical advice for spring management, swarm prevention, and making better colony decisions — especially if you're still figuring out when to step in and when to let bees do their thing. Whether you're managing two hives or twenty, there’s something in here for you.
