Welcome to the forum, Hrdwrk. Sure it will melt, by July anyway, like Vance said read lots, watch videos, and join your local bee club. When you have question, just post them on here some one will give you an answer. Methods do vary from location and in locations also. Pick the way you think is best in your opinion and go with it. If it works for you fine, if it doesn't try another method. I do get to rambling sometimes. Good luck to you
