Ok, so we're new to this thing... Had two experienced folks give us two perspectives... One said to use one deep and then two shallows. The other says let them fill out two deeps before adding shallows.
If I understand correctly, you don't harvest honey from the deeps, and use a queen excluder to make sure only honey is in the shallows... so two deeps would mean a larger community but a longer wait to start getting honey...?
Looking for some pros/cons on one deep versus two deeps.
We currently have two new hives with 10 frame deeps (one currently) but are needing to give them more space.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!
