Hi list,
 
    I just read on the list that you can over winter nuc's on top of =
another hive.  I am using five frame nuc's that have a permenant bottom =
from BETTERBEE INC. Can I over winter these nuc's in a barn? Maybe =
between bales of hay or wrapped? If this is possible how much honey =
stores should they have? And should I check them on that day in February =
that is very warm and feed them? I'm asking this because because I want =
to raise myown queens and over winter them in nuc's and introduce proven =
laying queens in the spring.
