Newbee Wanting To Go From Deep to Medium But HOW?

[cao]

Ok, thank you. That makes sense. Do you think I should put a tarp over the top of them as they'll be driving about an hour in the back of the truck? And I guess I need to bring some grass or something to plug up the entrance during transit?

I don't think a tarp is necessary unless it is real cold.
A piece of screen stapled to cover the entrance will work much better than grass.
I would put feed on them as soon as you get the hive put in its place.
I've never used the baggie feeder.  I've only used the mason jar with holes in lid over the inner cover.

ONCE moving the bees will more or less stay put..  If you have to stop, keep the engine running so the vibrations remain. It usually is enough to keep the bees inside..   You can also use screen stapled or taped over the entrances.  Don't BLOCK the entrances or they may overheat...
   The Mediums WILL work..  Remember, that often, the bees will fix MOST mistakes we make with the best of intentions!
   Make your choice.. mediums, or deeps, then DO IT! Deal with the problems one at a time and you are likely to be successful! (With a little help from your bees)

Thank you all soooo much!! I feel a lot better now. I'm sticking with the mediums because that is what I want. I will just deal with the rest as things come up. I've come to realize that beekeeping seems to be a lot of trial and error and seeing what works for you and how you like to handle and deal with things. I just need to be patient I think lol I guess that comb they will build underneath will become a latter for them. I guess I'll just need to make sure they don't build all over the bottom entrance and close it off or something. ? lol  And I can't seem to find it now, but I think it was MB that said I could cut the comb and fit it into a medium frame after some time? That sounds good too. I'll see how things go and go from there...I need to remember, Patience,  grasshopper lol I really really appreciate you all! Thank you all!
