Please can you identify what you meant by "soda crystals" which you added to the water, to clean your equipment? I know that "washing soda" (which has the chemical name of sodium carbonate) can be used for cleaning equipment. But I know that some people talk about using caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) for this kind of purpose. Caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) can be used where a powerful cleaner is required to dissolve fatty residue, such as a blocked drain under the kitchen sink. But caustic soda is quite capable of causing serious chemical burns to human skin and flesh, and proper protection such as long-cuff gloves needs to be used. Do you use washing soda, or caustic soda?
Great video. Do you clean your hives when required or before using the equipment on a new colony?

Thanks. I only tend to clean when they are really dirty indeed. I often place new colonies into dirty hives but if I have a failed colony I'll always clean just to be on the safe side.
