4-21-2012 Installing the Nuc from RockHillHoneyBeeFarm

Jerry from Rock Hill Honey Bee Farm up in Stafford was nice enough to let me pick my Nuc up last evening... which saved me quite a bit of driving.  So today, I decided to go ahead and get the bees into a new box down at Mathews.  Before that, I checked on the first hive... I saw a few bees in the honey super, but they still haven't done too much in the way of drawing out the comb.  Hopefully this will come soon.






The second hive was still a mess... But it looked like the bees had started drawing out the frames. 



Finally, I installed the new nucleus hive.  This is quite a bit quicker than installing a package.  I might have to consider getting nucs more often in the future.
