So, going into my second year as a beek(so still a newbee), which means first year for honey harvest. So far my girls are doing good, the queens are laying, stores are quite nice in the bottom two boxes considering the winter/spring rain we've had. So I am already counting my blessings.
I still have hive beetles, from last year, but they are fewer in number and AJ's beetle eaters are helping to keep things in check.
Our first flow will be around April 15 for central NC. I already have one super on each hive. Having said that, and given the date and the looming flow, how should I go about supering as to give the bees enough space but not give the beetles new places to hide?
