quote:
can you explain, the purpose of (or the idea behind) the large circular
frames of foundation that are illustrated in several of the pictures?

A gentleman has invented a system where the brood of the hive is raised in
circular frames which are on an axle which is connected to a motor. In fact,
he has trailers where all the hives inside are connected to one battery
powered motor which slowly rotates the entire brood nest once over 24 hours.
He believes this disrupts the varroa's reproductive cycle, with no harm to
the bees. I confess that is all I know. There was so much to see, I couldn't
spend much time on each exhibit.
