Thinking whilst I was supposed to be asleep last night (Too much excitement after watching the curling match on TV).
I started to wonder about Wintering Nucs.

The thought of a nuc. full of bees and well feed going into winter storage gave a sense of security. Couldn't get more
bees in - overflowing and stuffed as full as possible with honey and food.

Comparing the above to:

A normal Langstroth brood box with the same size cluster and quantity of bees, again with adequate food. This gave me a
gut feeling of some doubt about its survival potential.

If both were wintered in a normal wintering shed - is there any basis to my two different gut feelings about these
configurations.
