Hello everyone
I will be picking up a 3 pound package in a couple of weeks and have 2 empty deeps that the bees were in (bees did not make it though winter) The deeps are in excellent condition, with several frames with capped honey, some with partial capped honey and some with no honey. My question is

Would you suggest I put the new bees in 1 deep or 2 deeps????
Would it be best to put the partial frames in the middle with the full ones on the outsides???
Thanks for any advice
Brian

1 box to start and watch them until they need another. Honey frames to the outsides, empty drawn comb in the center.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

Yup, it is that easy, just like they said.  You won't even need to feed unless you feel some primordial mothering instinct.
