NUC Installation

For many of you who acquire new bees either receive them as a package or in a NUC. During this video, Brushy Mountain Bee Farm, shows you how to transfer a NUC into your hive. We give a brief overview of what a NUC is and then demonstrate how to install into your hive.

Been keeping bees for ten years now, caught many many swarms(both mine when I didn’t check em early enough and neighbors have an apiary that had swarms) it’s been so long I wanted to brush up on a nuk installation, just like I remember but no apprehension this time😁... picking up two new ones beginning of the week!! Excited!! Thank you, was sent here by Hungry Bear Farm in NY!! I have lots of drawn comb (supers and honey frames and boxes) ready to go!!

Great videos. Thanks for taking the time to put out quality information. It really helps take the edge off a new keeper's nerves!

Excellent video. Very helpful as I am a beginner that will be getting our 5 frame nuc in a few weeks and your video details the process very well. Thanks very much.

Thanks a lot. This was very helpful. Makes me feel less anxious about the 2 nucs I'm getting tomorrow.

Awsome video! I am doing my research to get ready for my first hive this spring. I live in Alabama and have alot of sources that I can go to for advise. Been checking oiy your catalog that I picked up at the Alabama Conference this month and cant wait to place an order on supplies. Also....how annoying was that bumble bee? Man!!!!

Thanks for such an interesting video and so informative!
I'm getting 2 nucs on Thursday, I'm located in La Paz - Bolivia so spring is starting right now, and I was wondering once I get my nucs how long should I leave them on the stand before I install them in my hives? Maybe that day so they can calm down of the stress of the journey and the day after do the installation? Hope I can get a response
