>If a nuc can survive an Alaskan winter, it could survive even here in NJ!
How do you do it?

5 frame stand alone nucs can be overwintered here in Alaska. I've gotten
them through (although not routinely) in the past. Last winter I banked an
Alaska raised queen in a 5 frame nuc insulated with a 1-inch thickness of
styrofaom and wrapped in tar paper. The queen was used to head up a split
made this spring on another overwintered hive. Incidentally both the nuc
and the overwintered hives were fed sugar syrup (Hi Keith! <g>)
