Hi,
I have not done any bee keeping before, but have started going to a local bee school, I am after some advice on what to order in my start up package, I have a catalog from Bushy Mountain bee farm with a one time free shipping coupon and really like the English garden hive kit as Iam English myself and like the shape of their hive. My questions are, the kit comes with 2 deep supers and no shallow should I order some shallow or medium ones with the kit or will I not need them this year if I do how many of which size would be best. I was also thinking of ordering a top feeder and queen excluder, other than that is there anything else I really should buy, if it is wooden and needs to be painted I would like to do it at the same time as the main hive. Thanks in advance John
