After a 30 plus year absence from the hobby I am getting back into bee keeping - got three hives set up and occupied yesterday.
A lot has changed in the hobby since I last had hives.
My questions:
1) What routine medical maintenance do you perform if any? When do you perform this feeding of medical treatments?
2) What routine feeding do you perform or recommend?
I plan to use a deep hive body for the brood chamber and a medium super above this for food storage, taking off only from any additional supers placed above this.
Next year I will analyze the results from the medium super and if it looks like I should be using a deep hive body for a food storage then I will go with that idea at that time. So - what is the common size food storage box do you use?
Any comments, advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
