Hi everyone,
I recently transferred a nuc gifted to me, 6 full frames, into my Abelo poly national.
My setup from the bottom is:
- wooden hive stand
- Abelo poly floor with tray slid in place and entrance slid right open
- Abelo poly brood box with vent inserts in (rather than poly blocks)
- Abelo poly crown board
- Abelo poly roof
So my questions are:
1. Do I need the tray under the mesh in position?
2. Are the two vent blocks in the brood box better option than poly blocks?
3. My entrance is not on the 'toothed' way round. It's open to about 60mm wide
4. Any hints and tips to help them grow?
I'm not feeding at the moment.
