I'm a 1st year beek. I have read and heard from many beeks to use 2 deep boxes for brood and once they fill the bottom brood they will move up and start filling the upper deep.
I had an expierenced beek to my house recently to check on a nuc and they recommended only using 1 deep for brood than a queen excluder and another deep for the bee's honey.
My goal is big strong hives.-- I don't really care about the honey. Should I say that I'd rather have bees than honey.
I'd love some advice. I know everyone's will differ and that's ok.
Thanks,
Julie
