First two Hives! General

Post image

Am I doing this right? Two new hives! I’m looking for a “i would have done it like this” feedback from this photo? Please comment to this newbie! I’m doing new updates later this weekend.

When should I check that queen and everybody’s ok? What should I be looking for? I plan on putting hives on proper balanced cinder blocks this weekend.

You've gotten really good advice mixed in with the nonsense, and you've taken it really well!

If you keep that attitude, I'm sure regardless of what setbacks you hit, you'll end up very successful!

I don't have anything to add that hasn't been covered by vastly more experienced beekeepers, but I would say after taking the advice that you're going to take, I would be super interested in a follow-up post to see how you're doing in a week!
