setting up nuc yard #2 charging nuc's

[@honeyandthecoop803]

Good to see you out in the bee yard Mr. Don, I was at your house last month buying some of your lumber and thinking about some of your ripe queen cells now!

[@BucksBeesS.C.]

I really hope you have time to make more videos. I've been watching you and doing common sense I hope and learned alot

[@brucesbees]

Interesting stuff Don. Glad to see you out doing a video in the bees again.

[@benbarnes2819]

Great video, when I sold all my bee’s and equipment I made a big mistake.

[@dnlwilliams1987]

Great video

[@fineshooter]

Thanks!

From Trinidad, a island in the Caribbean. Always locked on.

[@chrisb.5570]

What do you wet the bees with? Plain water or some ratio of sugar to water?

[@fineshooter]

sugar water

[@jah2440]

Is it ok to keep them on the ground vs lifting them a bit?!

[@davidbrackin7927]

Like the coolest bee truck ever👏👍

[@scottreese5492]

What is the paper on top? And what keeps them in there without a queen? thanks for your amazing contribution in helping out one of Gods most unique creations:)

[@victorybaptisttemple5359]

How do you keep the bees in the box without any brood? Or is that not required?

[@khawk7365]

How many pounds of bees did it take to setup 500 baby nucs?

[@khawk7365]

How long before u come back to get the mated queen?

[@bamabeesqueens]

Did you get the video of cells? Also how many pounds of bees does it take to do 500 mating nucs?

[@baldeagleApiaries]

So these are worker bees shaken off brood frames?

[@fineshooter]

we shake in big box then dip 1 cup at a time

[@hnorton8298]

Hi Don, Great videos as usual, what size is your cup that you are scooping in the box? How many mini nucs can you fill with a box of package bees?? Thanks.

[@fineshooter]

a cup of bees a packages will set up 9-10 boxes

[@tl3192]

Don good to see you’re out and about . I do have a question what are you using for a top cover after you dump the bees in is that a paper ?

[@fineshooter]

house wrap

[@reholloway]

Do you make your own mating boxes and if so, do anyway you could share how you made them?

[@fineshooter]

there is plans on my web page you can make a box for less then a dollar

[@jpthedelawarebeeman6239]

Hi Donn, what size property would you say that setup is located on 1/2 acre ? Canvas inner covers ?

[@fineshooter]

6 acres

[@jpthedelawarebeeman6239]

@@fineshooter OK so with property sky rocketing what is your tip to get land to place bees on either cheap or free ?

[@sentimentalbloke7586]

Why the mini nucs and not 2 frame mating nucs? Seems a bit of a muck about to get em into langsroth standard frames to me.

[@fineshooter]

there only for mating queens

[@TheBoxingBee1]

What are you putting in too the nucs?

[@fineshooter]

bees

[@joehubbard4405]

Lol

[@timbranda7086]

How do you feed them little nucs?

[@fineshooter]

we make inside feeders cost 60 cents each

[@joshreeder6881]

​@@fineshooterdo you have a video on how to make the little inside feeders ?

[@brucejarrell5707]

2 of them r mine! Make them good!

[@jerimalynn]

Cup of what please?

[@fineshooter]

honey bees

[@lagrangebees]

So charging the nucs basically results in a bee explosion heh :P sorry for the dad joke bit this was was begging for it! On a serious note. I love the simplicity of the process and learning new bee stuff :)

[@scottreese5492]

And how many frames and what size frames?

[@fineshooter]

3 frame of 6 and 1/4 deep
