here's a beginners question for you..
I have assembled the inner cover and am now not sure that I have put it together correctly .. or if it is oriented correctly on the hive. The one I bought (from Glory Bee) is a piece of masonite with a smooth side and a rough side.. and the frame it is sandwiched in. Which side faces the bees, smooth or rough?
Also, the framing pieces that sandwich the masonite are not symmetrical. I mean that when assembled the masonite is not equidistant from the top and bottom of the framing pieces so that when installed on the hive in one position there is more space between the top of the frames/foundation/bees than when it is flipped over and installed the other way. So which way is right? Closer to the bees or further?
Sheesh..
