It's amaizing to me, how one beekeeping can share a TIP, and competely redirect your thinking. Thanks to Colin, from Australia, who appeared on my porch the other day! You rock! He helped me understand how to get my Mating Nucs up and running! big thanks!

If you have questions, please give me a shout. 918-798-2251 text or call.
Thanks, Ken

Awesome idea . I´ll try to do this here in Brazil too.
But whats the size of your mating nucs?
Here i have about 50 but all mine are half size of a Langstroth hive (5 frames each)
I also dont know if my AHBs would accept a mating nuc with fewer bees but i´ll try. How many frames do you usually use on your mating nucs?
Thanks

Thought about something like this   I was thinking of a shallow/medium frame cut at 6" in a 6 frame NUC with a feeder behind it.  This way I can just use a cup of bees in the mating NUC.
