I thought Thats what I should do but I thought it went under the top cover. Should it be like a 1/4 inch? With that in place will the bees use it as an entrance. Thanks for your reply

Thanks all for your input. This is my first hive so I'm in the dark for now. I think tomorrow I'll check the hive again, only the outside frames. If they have comb. I'm going to add the second...

Can you start the first one out with a narrow stip of wax coated plastic foundation glued in, or does every frame need a starter strip?

I was thinking the same thing. About two out of three post about foundationless either starts or ends with the word mess or problem. I'm rather scared to try, but would love some comb honey.

I just installed my package I ordered from simpsons in goergia(about and hour ago). The install went good. The queen was solo in her cage with just a cork no candy. I didn't think of it at first, ...

I've been reading that aggressive bees will actually carry smb out the hive, and they do a lot better job dealing with shb and varro mites. I have a wild hive that is very aggressive, and huge. ...
