Hey y’all,

 

This will be my first nectar flow.  Naturally, I have some questions.  I have two hives, each consisting of two deeps.  I have a medium and a shallow to stack on top of one or the other.  I am going with all cut comb, starting on the appropriate foundation.  So I have 10 frames in each, with foundation, ready to go.  Now the questions:

1)      Since they will have to draw the comb out, when do I set it on my hives?  Do I need to get a jump on the nectar flow?

 

2)      How do I know when the nectar flow starts? What are the signs? 

 

Getting excited…

 

Tom
