I was wondering if someone could help me with some questions about my first hive assembly.
Bottom Board:
There are two sides. One side is smoother that the other. Does the smooth side or rough side face up? I am assuming smooth so water will run out.
When the sides are attached to the bottom board should there be 1/2 inch up leaving a 1/2 inch opening for the bees to enter or 3/4 inch up leaving a 3/4 entrance for the bees?
Inner Cover:
Same questions essentially. Smooth side up or down? 1/2 inch on top or 1/4 inch?
Outer cover:
Smooth side facing up or down.
Thanks in advance for your help.
