Beehive height!

Hi there,

 

Just a question for more experienced beekeepers. I have a first year hive and they have filled 3 deeps with brood and honey. I put a queen separator on and they are now on the 4th super and everything is full. I have to get up on a stool to check the top super. All the pictures I have seen of hives no one seems to have a tower like I do. Am I doing this right? They seem most happy. No mites.

thanks Fiona

Hi Fiona,

I suggest you post this in the beekeeping group - many more beekeepers will see it there.

Cheers,
