I am a newbee. Installed 2 Nucs into 2
8 frame deeps on May 4. The hives are on a roof top at the Jersey Shore. I’m getting close to adding a second box. The colonies are doing fine. I do not care in the least about extracting Honey or not in my first year?? I just want to learn and get experience about being a beekeeper. I’ve watched hours of videos like everyone else.
I would like some advice whether to try single brood box with queen excluder and medium supers on top or double brood box with or without excluders??? I say this as a newbee. I am using plastic wax coated foundation. Being new , I have no drawn out frames. That is why I’m not sure which way to begin my hive management?? Single or Double brood box. Thank you in advance for your thoughts
