Hello List
Gerry V., and others have been discussing observation hives on the
Apis-L, but a post indicated that it was off-topic...and should be
discussed on Bee-L.
No one has brought the topic here , so I shall do so.
I have ordered an observation hive, from our local Dadant supplier.
I asked him to get me a normal deep super + honey super above type of
observation hive.
I asked for the small type because I didn't want something very tall in my
dining room (where I intend to place it.)
Now I wonder if I should have gone for something with 2 or three deep
frames instead...it is apparently difficult to manage this small an
observation hive.
What is required to do this effectively?...any help?
thanks!
Regards,
Rob
