Hello everyone,
I am very new to beekeeping and have a question that I am hoping that someone can answer for me. I have had my first hive set up and bees installed for about 3 weeks now. I fear that I have made a mistake by setting up the hive with 2 brood boxes and no supers to start. I started with package bees and did my first inspection to make sure that the queen was released after about 5 days. The second inspection was done today and it appears that the bees have been extremely busy laying, storing, etc. as at least 3-4 of the frames are already nearly full. The bees are all in the top hive body with none in the lower......I was wondering if I should keep the hive as is or should I remove the bottom hive body and just leave the top part, or should I switch the top and bottom hive bodies so that they build up? I plan on attending meetings in the future and probably should find a mentor. Any answers and help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Scott
