Enhancement of Miller method, notching

I stubbled across this youtube video.

Mention is made of "Notching", (its explained at about 54mins 30 into the clip if you haven't got the patience to watch it all)
It sounds an interesting non-grafting method.
Has anyone ever tried it and is it as successful as the clip suggests?

Not too sure about his approach to varroa, expecting them to self destruct. I would have thought that removal of a sacraficial brood frame must be more effective.

Sub titles would be useful
Interesting find thanks!

Very interesting, shame about the snufflers, coughers and chatteres in the background.

It would have been super if he had been microphoned up with a wireless mic.
