Any advice?
SC. I planted this southern magnolia two months ago. Should I replant it higher and expose the root flare and orient the dominant lead more vertically?

How to fix this disaster
Lots of shrubs and stuff growing by my back garage. I often cut them down low then they grow back later in the year. Help!

How can I prevent grass from growing in this tree bed?
Title says it all. Looking for advice on how to prevent grass from creeping in and growing in this tree bed. Landscapers did put down landscaping fabric but it's not helping.

Do you guys ventilate your hives with an inner cover with a notch or other methods?
SC first year 2 hives. I’ve seen videos of beekeepers saying that the notch on the inner covers can cause issues like robbing and other pests. Should I put a screen over the top entrance or is an opening that small manageable for them to defend. Both my hives are single deeps at the moment.

Can I add a top feeder if I just did a split and a new queen will be emerging to do a mating flight sometime this week?

Having issues getting a nuc I installed 1 month ago drawing comb (SC first year beekeeper)
I’ve been feeding 1:1 sugar water and put a generous amount of fresh wax on the plastic foundation as well as spraying sugar water on the new frames to incentivize building comb. I’ve also tried moving frames around to get the bees to draw up at least one or two frames before I add the second deep. I’m worried the queen will get honey bound if I keep feeding because they have a ton of nectar/honey. Should I stop feeding or put the second deep on even though they haven’t fully drawn out any new frames?
I’ve heard that giving them too much space too quickly can have negative effects. Thanks in advance for your advice.
