Just set my 1st hive of Russians yesterday here in WNC. It went without incident - not sure if it was the trip or the smoke but they were certainly well behaved. I've been reading on the forum - and thanks to all the members for insight and advice - but being a "newbie" I might need to be spoon fed at times...
It'll be a week before I make my first inspection of the hive but based on what I saw yesterday there was almost 50% comb. My question is - depending on the amount of comb when I check should I add another brood chamber? Help a "newbie" and walk me through the first couple of weeks...
