Robin I would love to video tape the process but DH won't let me near the hives when he's working them. I'm planning to ask my neighbor lady if she can get me one when she gets back from FL.
Jamie the only thing the colors have to do with beekeeping is to reflect light the way you would choose paint for your house. The only rule is do not use dark colors like black, navy or dark brown because those colors absorb heat and are also the colors of the honey bees predators...bears, raccoons and skunks to name a few.
The solid white one is one of our first hives and all the other hives are swarms from the first two hives. DH just loves bright and colorful so he's painting the supers whatever color he takes a notion. The newest color is royal blue and hasn't been set on the hives yet.
