  3. Thanks for useful and helpful videos in the website but I want to draw your attention about the video format, that dear sir/madam if possible please convert the videos from you-tube to other than, because you-tube is banned in our region (Pakistan) for some reasons. It is really very very helpful for beekeepers. Thanks once again.
