Overwintering Nucs

[@scotthenderson4376]

Very nice I'm glad I don't have to worry about the temperature. I just mack sure to feed them if needed.

SEEMS A LITTLE TIGHT WITH 1/4" PLYWOOD FOR DIVISION BOARD. I USED ALUM COIL STOCK TO ALLOW FOR MORE ROOM . ONE SAW KERF AND DONE

It would be great if you would stand behind the hive when you are doing these videos so we can see what you are doing. We spent the whole video looking at your back an couldn’t see what we were doing. And have your camera closer and higher. Thanks

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing :)

You could have shaken the last frame off into the mix box.and left that box in front of their new home..they would find the entrance due to smell.

In hoping to start using Nucs to winter over and have been browsing u tube a lot. Using the 4 frame bottom board doesn't impede using the 5 frame deep? Can't your two queens go hive to hive cause your bottom board isn't separating the two hives correctly?

Mated Queens don’t usually do that. But a virgin can fly in.

Looks like you got nailed at 20:47. Perhaps the ladies were feeling a little squished - side to side there definitely wasn't enough room.)

[@connecticutbeekeepers]

Thanks for watching. I’m always getting hit.

[@bryonbailey8615]

Do you need an upper entrance for ventilation

[@johngardner1898]

No. That stresses the bees, making overwintering a nuc even more challenging.
