We are new to the Bee list and new to beekeeping...and thought we would introduce ourselves... Roger & Wendy Carlson from Aledo, Illinois. We have just built our first two hives and ordered two 3lb. packages of bees (All-American from B. Weaver.. I hope that was a good choice for a begginer and this area!) I just had one quick question while you are apparently on the subject of foundation... with the Mann Lake Rite-Cell foundation...does this work with support pins or wireing the best..or do I need any at all?
