I'm a newbie and have been researching and reading for about a year. I'll be receiving my bees the first week of May (late I know) from a reputable guy in my area who is going to shake me a package and mark my queen for me (good thing or else I'd never see her again).
QUESTION IS: You hear alot about when to inspect and what to inspect for at the beginning but NOT so much about when to inspect your brood chambers after you have placed a queen excluder and are mainly looking over your honey supers. My question is...once I have a few supers placed and things are going nicely, how often and for what should I inspect the brood chambers.
I'm signed on now so if I need to clarify just ask.
