Hi everyone, I learned a hard lesson today. I made up 20 nucs in double nuc colonies last night and put them at the back of the farm. They all had ventilation holes but the entrances were sealed with duct tape. It is very hot today, over 30 C in the shade i believe. The bees got really really warm, and in one nuc the bees all died. The other the bees are pretty slow but they seem ok. How hot does it have to be before the brood gets killed? If the bees are still alive, is it safe to assume the brood is too? Hope to hear from you all soon! If I don't reply is is porobably cause I melted.
