As a new beekeeper, about to start my second season, I'm looking for some advice.
In the autumn, I removed the queen excluders from my hives, and placed the supers below the brood box.
I'm wondering when I should put the queen excluders back, and place super(s) on top of the brood boxes.
Reading the book and the web, they talk about "springtime".... does the forum have any better ideas when to do the first inspection?
I am based on the cambridgeshire/northampton border.
Thanks for your hep with this issue.
