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 [log in to unmask]
