- 2 colonies now! and some spare parts.
Now excuse me if this seems a numpty question but I have only had my girls for a short time and they came in a ready made hive and colony.
I want/need to have another hive next year so that if/when I need to split them I have another hive to put them in.
I am happy to buy a flat pack hive from wherever, or even (get my husband to) make one.
What exactly do I need to buy?
I know I need a brood box and super, frames and foundation, lid but what else? OMF or solid floor? HELP please. Pretty please.
