My new hive seems to be doing well, despite some minor setbacks like a new beekeeper, winds, rain and hail. <grin> They still don't have all ten frames drawn out, so I've not put the second hive body on yet. I have assembled and painted it and assembled the frames. The foundation is still in its shippin box. Can I assemble the frames, with foundation, and leave them sit (hanging in the second hive body) in my finished basement for the week or three before they are ready for it without worry about waxmoths? Any general guidelines to follow here? I've gotten lots of good help from the B-LIST and appreciate it and (probably) much more to come. -- John Taylor -- LifeBeat Air Medical http://www.cris.com/~Johntrn1/index.shtml When in danger, or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout!
