Welcome Nic,

as per our PMs I am probably at the same level of experience as you so a sharing of our knowledge and mistakes might save us both a lot of time and effort.
I would definitely get some SHB (Small Hive Beetle) traps into your hive ASAP or you risk loosing one or both of them which would really suck! Our (me & a mate's) 4 hives are now down to 2 hives & 1 nuc after a SHB invasion  :-x so I think for the rest of this season that hive will just be bulding back up, not sure if I will get anymore honey from it this season?

Look foward to hearing how your hives go in the future.
