At my sons bee keeping class they gave him medium supers with plastic foundation. Will the mediums be ok to tart the package bees? Should I get a couple of deeps for when the hive comes home? Thanks

The mediums will be fine. A lot of folks are using mediums for everything since all the parts are interchangeable. Good luck to you and your son.

the bees will build a hive in whatever you give them
personally, I'd stick with all mediums so the parts are all interchangeable

and lighter than deeps! In PA, he'll probably want to use 3 mediums as the brood nest instead of the recommended 2 deeps or 1 deep and 1 medium.

I use all mediums as well.
