The next decision is what size hives to
use. I have decided to use all ¾ quarter boxes, brood and honey.
With such a small number of hives it makes sense to have all the same
size boxes. Since Ana is no body builder, she might just be able to
manage a ¾ quarter box full of honey but no way she could lift a
full depth box of honey.
Since I didn't trust my building skills
we bought two complete hives from Trevor Gillibanks, ready made with wooden frames, Hive Doctor bases and
prewired with foundation.
These were beautifully made and well
worth the cost.
In future I will buy kit set boxes and
make them myself.
