As the subject says, I'm a newbee following Michael Bush's advice and methods that I read on his website. I just installed a 5 deep-frame nuc into an 8-frame deep hive. I will be using 8-frame mediums without foundation for everything else. I added 3 no-foundation frames to the deep (popsicle sticks and bamboo skewers in a frame).
HERE'S THE QUESTION. I am using a top entrance with no bottom entrance, like Mr. Bush suggests. What type of bottom board should I use? RIght now I have it just sitting on a piece of plywood.
Most of his material assumes some level of knowledge, and I have almost none, so i'm not gleaning info that others probably do when they read through the various subjects on his website. If I have no bottom entrance, do I still use a bottom like one with an entrance, but without one? And a screened board to check for beetles?
I think I'm missing details on how to do a proper start using Mr. Bush's methods. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
