setting up nuc yard #2 charging nuc's

[honeyandthecoop]

Good to see you out in the bee yard Mr. Don, I was at your house last month buying some of your lumber and thinking about some of your ripe queen cells now!

[BucksBeesS.C.]

I really hope you have time to make more videos. I've been watching you and doing common sense I hope and learned alot

[brucesbees]

Interesting stuff Don. Glad to see you out doing a video in the bees again.

[benbarnes]

Great video, when I sold all my bee’s and equipment I made a big mistake.

What is the paper on top? And what keeps them in there without a queen? thanks for your amazing contribution in helping out one of Gods most unique creations:)

[rajivramadhin]

From Trinidad, a island in the Caribbean. Always locked on.

[jah]

Is it ok to keep them on the ground vs lifting them a bit?!

[khawk]

How many pounds of bees did it take to setup 500 baby nucs?

[victorybaptisttemple]

How do you keep the bees in the box without any brood? Or is that not required?

[bamabeesqueens]

Did you get the video of cells? Also how many pounds of bees does it take to do 500 mating nucs?

[chrisb.]

What do you wet the bees with? Plain water or some ratio of sugar to water?

[hnorton]

Hi Don, Great videos as usual, what size is your cup that you are scooping in the box? How many mini nucs can you fill with a box of package bees??
Thanks.

[khawk]

How long before u come back to get the mated queen?

[tl]

Don good to see you’re out and about . I do have a question what are you using for a top cover after you dump the bees in is that a paper ?

[baldeagleApiaries]

So these are worker bees shaken off brood frames?

[reholloway]

Do you make your own mating boxes and if so, do anyway you could share how you made them?

[sentimentalbloke]

Why the mini nucs and not 2 frame mating nucs? Seems a bit of a muck about to get em into langsroth standard frames to me.

[jpthedelawarebeeman]

Hi Donn, what size property would you say that setup is located on 1/2 acre ? Canvas inner covers ?

[lagrangebees]

So charging the nucs basically results in a bee explosion heh :P sorry for the dad joke bit this was was begging for it! On a serious note. I love the simplicity of the process and learning new bee stuff :)

[scottreese]

And how many frames and what size frames?
