Question: I normally pollinate with a double deep hive. I see that some poeple pollinate with Nucs. How is the ratio different as far as crops ? Meaning how many 5 frame nucs in comparrison to a full double deep hive ? Also is it possible to over winter a 5 frame nuc with out feeding it ? Does not seem possible. Here in the Northeast a lot of beekeepers lost many colonies. Including me. The hives that remain are generally weak. All were medicated and strong going into fall. They all seem off to a slow start.
