Hello all,
A couple of the many questions I am not too sure of so I thought I would ask. This year is going to be my first year. I'm starting out with two hives all mediums. I ordered two 4# packages of RUSSIAN-"YUGO" CARNIOLAN from Honey Bee Genetics. How many mediums do I start with for brood 1, 2 or 3? Then if they look to be doing well this year would you put on the queen excluder and had a super? Or would you leave the excluder off the first year and just add supers as needed?
I'm thinking two med to start and add supers as needed without excluder and just let them do what they want, with my observation. What do you think?
Thanks for the help,
Jaamin
