Hi everyone
I'm having to look into bumping up my supers ready for this season as I'm aiming to have 4 supers per hive just incase...better to be safe than sorry and being my first year I've been told to have at least double what you expect just incase.
Anyway, I've been and done all my broods in 1st grade cedar from thornes and wondered if 2nds are actually any good for the supers or is it best to stick with sticking on 1st for these as I have been trying to stay away from 2nds as someone told me the knots will cause issues and if 2nds arnt too bad which supplier comes highly rated, as C.wynne jones, abelo, bee-equipment are just some of the ones I've seen currently
Thanks
