Hello, looking for help getting my new bees into my flow hive … I am new to bee keeping and picking up my bees from Spicer bees this April 16th and worried I won’t be able to get them set up right

You should start out with a brooder box first, what the flow box is for honey, build your bee family up first then add the flow or another brood then the flow.

So just use the bottom box with the wouden racks at first?

Yes :wink: Don’t have any more than one box in your hive, until it is full of bees. Search this forum for more information on how many boxes. Be prepared to drink from a fire hose… :blush:
