LOL.........
If you are new....... go for it and learn. It does disturb them but what you learn and view is worth it.
Look carefully for queen cells. Practice picking up drones a bunch. Clean burr comb. Have fun.
I am still a newbie but have scaled back opening the tops. I watch and listen more now. See what the are hauling in, etc.
I try to get in and pull boxes at least once every 2 weeks to keep the brood nest open and boxes and frames from getting too stuck.
If it is a new package try to let them be for a couple of weeks for sure.
