Hello everyone,
This will be my first year keeping bees and have acquired two langstroth hives (each has two deeps, two medium supers, and top feeder). I am picking up my two bee packages on the 26th and have been doing a lot of reading to try to best prepare myself. I guess with everything else I've done, I won't be comfortable until I've done it, but I'm trying to be best prepared.
One thing that I'm nervous about is should I have some extra boxes and frames handy? Should I expect to have to split a hive this year? Or would next spring be more realistic?
I'm sure I'll have many more questions and picture to share so I apologize if some of them are very basic or common knowledge for you folks.
Craig.
