PUT THEM ON BEFORE THE DEEPS FILL UP !!

Back in April I started 6 new hives with packages. Against my better judgement, I left out the SR, figured I add it later. fast forward to June, the bearding began, so the task of installing the SR began by removing the DEEPS, my God, they must have been 100 lbs. !!!! Folks, ( Newbies & Lazy beeks) if you plan on having certain hive components under the Brood deeps or mediums, do it before you introduce your new family. My chiropractor has been very happy to see me since  :-\

Ought to change my name to STUPID* BEEK.  :roll:

Or carry an empty deep super and move half at a time.  After all, relatively speaking, that is what you do if you have all mediums.

Mediums supers and slatted racks.

Always start your hive with SBB, slatted rack, medium supers, and top entrances.
