New Bee
I got 2 hives in the spring. Both Nationals and they came with extra brood boxes and supers.
One hive has around 20,000 bees and the other 5,000. Thats what the seller told me!
I've added supers on them both the larger having 2 and the smaller 1.
They have filled these with honey.
I think I might have made a mistake tho. Should I have added another brood box on the bottom before the supers? Currently both only have 1 brood box. Would it be too late to add it now and start feeding. I'm keen to make sure they have space over the winter.
I also have a large shed and I was thinking about taking the hives in over the winter is this wise?
