It's looks like you are enjoying yourselves with this. That's the key, I think. BTW, you might consider changing from feeding them sugar water to honey. It makes them healthier. Please don't feel insulted by my suggestion. Just want to be helpful. ;-)
GREAT VIDEO - but i would like to help you guys out before its too late --- start with one deep when you install the packages - not a stack of supers - bees will build up and only use 3-4 frames in each box - its better to start with one box and let them fill it out then add one - then when its full add one and so on... also bees need to keep warm and with one box its easier then a stack of empty boxes that stay colder - best of luck - it might be early enough to take some boxes off
