So, this year, we decided (rather late, at the end of May) that we were going to start a hive. I picked up a 5 frame VSH nuk (170 miles drive each way) and installed the 5 frames, 2 days later (due to weather) in a single deep.
And, I had no plans of getting any honey from them this year, due to starting later in the season, and knowing how short our summers are and how long our winters are. I figure, even if I do put a super on, I will probably leave all that honey to them to get through the winter.
