I do have follower boards and moved the board about halfway so the hive space is about half the length of the box. I wanted to accommodate the two Boardman feeders I left in the bottom of the hive, although I suppose I could have left them outside the space for the hive. I am terrified of losing these bees since I have already had one unsuccessful install into this hive, so maybe I should go back and shorten the distance to seven or eight bars with the Boardmans outside in the empty hive space.....???Linda Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089537760868691562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27329001.post-50043138710244385692010-04-26T22:24:40.038-04:002010-04-26T22:24:40.038-04:00I am just starting with a top bar too (may 8th). ...I am just starting with a top bar too (may 8th). I was wondering if you reduced the size of the hive with follower boards. Most of the advice I have come across is that you should reduce it down to just 6 or 7 bars. I was thinking about hanging the queen and setting the package inside the hive. I really enjoy and appreciate this blog.katenoreply@blogger.com
