Would you be able to explain about Nucs?   I understand that a "5 frame Nuc" is
like a mini-super with five frames in it to allow a new queen, and workers to
start their new life.
 
I am interested how to setup a Nuc to allow the bees stabilize and then how to
transition them to a 10 frame super?
 
In the past I have always ordered a three or five pound box-o-bees (with queen)
when I wanted to start a new hive.  What are the advantages (and disadvantages)
to Nucs, as opposed to the box-o-bees method.
 
Thanks,         Jeff
