    There should be very little, or no brood this time of year.

    . I don't have anything yet, I'm not sure what kind to get, need more info first. If you plan to exrtact the honey, a Langstroth hive would be best. If you only want the bees for pollination, a top bar hive will work, but the honey comb must be cut off of the bars and can not be removed with...
