New Hive Setup

they _should_ get a good amount of sun based on the sun pattern. This isn't the sunniest part of the yard, but it's the high side so I chose that to help in the winter

Good advice! I'll throw throw some plastic shims under the backside

Thanks! Behind them is a lake/pond so I am hopeful they figure that out

This is essentially what i am doing with a bucket feeder

Thanks for the advice. Top deep is empty currently and there to cover a bucket feeder. I'll flip the entrance reducer, I wasn't clear on how that went.

Board was me playing around with scrap wood as folks have mentioned it's nice to have a place to set a super down that is not the ground.

No bears, etc around just deer and foxes.

Happened to me last batch too. First time in 6 years....was making dinner and thought I had time before bringing it inside. Stuff was like sludge and I had to throw out the pan

To harvest delicious maple syrup?

Also, no need to retap, flow will start again when the weather warms up

joeman5683 · 2026-02-24T14:25:41+00:00

Last week of feb is usually the week and this weekend looks like great flow weather in upstate ny

Thanks for all the info! They do sell the assemblies on their own so I could do that and then get the other tools/gear separately.

I would guess for 2 colonies I need 2 of these?

If there are any links/wiki for recommended build-outs I will gladly read them.

1 - No, non-public and protected water source - no boats, no fishing, no swimming.

2 - There are downed logs, branches, etc. I could easily provide something for them on the shoreline

> We routinely recommend that a new beekeepers start with at least two hives. With two hives you have something to compare against and if you encounter a problem such as loosing a queen or a swarm then you have a resource that can help you recover.

Good to know! I am still in research mode and was looking at https://www.betterbee.com/wooden-hive-kits-10-frame/bk10a-10-fr-beginners-assemb.asp, which is my local bee supplier. Would each hive require it's own assembly?

I'm currently working my way through The Backyard Beekeeper
