I am a total novice to bee keeping.  I bought a starter kit and a medium super with a queen excluder.  I installed a queen with 4#'s of bees.  However, I lost or crushed the queen.  So I bought a nuc with a queen, more bees, and brood.  Now I am concerned that with all these bees, I have set them up to swarm.
        anyway, I'm wondering the advantages of a 2 super hive vs 1 super, and I wonder about 9 vs 10 frames per super.  I'd like to hear others experience/advice.
                                Thanks, Dave
