I saw an operation where honey supers bees and all with the use of a bee
net  worked very well for increases. Upon arrival to the 40 by 120 honey
house all the supers are placed at one end with a 10 by 10 window at the
other end by the enterance. At the end of three days the supers are bee
free.Their were also 20 one gallon feeders in front of the window to
sustain them till making up the nucs. Oh,make sure you have queens for
however many nucs you want to make up.
