How to install a Nuc 🐝

[FrederickDunn]

Such an excellent presentation and it's a relief to be able to watch Cedar working in that nice weather while we're in the Polar Vortex of the northern United States. Thank you for sharing this series :)

I'm so glad I watched this ~ I'm about to transfer my nucs into new flow hives for the first time, and I've been feeling a tad nervous about doing it. This video has given me the confidence to feel like I know what to expect and how to do it safely for myself and the bees ~ many thanks!

Thank you. We just ordered two of the nw hive 2+. Can’t wait to get started.

Getting my first Nuc tomorrow 🙂 Just brushing up on my lessons ready to go

Wonderful. Waiting for my first flow hive to arrive. Curious to know if one hive will suffice.... have had bees swarm here from neighbour's . They stayed for a day with their queen in our walnut tree. Pretty excited, but realize alot needs to be done before first nuk arrives!! 👍

what a great video to show! Thank you so much for all this help. Im located in Pennsylvania. I am getting a Nuc in May which is Spring time. Once I fill my first box, should I add another instead of adding my flow super on? I want the bees to make it through winter even if that means I don't get any honey this season.

What paint did Sarah use on this hive and what gold decorative paint did she use and most importantly what did she seal the paint with?

1 How can I get started?
2 How can I get bees?
3 What things need to be maintained?
4 Would they be fine if they lived in a cold state like Iowa?

I'm looking at installing my first Nuc into my Classic Flowhive this Sunday, I live in the Scenic Rim area of Qld just over the border, is this time of the year OK to do this ... ??

Hi my name is Des Dunn is this how many bees I would need to start a hive in my back yard?

[Oxfire]

Thanks for your in poot wish you can do a video on spotting Queen cells

[aaronweeks]

do the flow hives come with a comb guide on the frames? im waiting for my 2+ to be deliverd

[shaofuchang]

That super looks beautiful! Did you make that? wow. good job. Between using foundations and drawn comb frames what's the reasoning for drawn comb ones? Bees like to make really weird drawn combs and it glues frames together sometimes.

if its really hot, there's that bee bearding effect, where they all go out and fan feverishly. Don't forget bees needs water. Especially when its hot. a fresh source of drinking water will keep them happy and surviving when its hot.

HI we have bees living in a hole in a Jara tree on owe property will they move to the hive or will the attack the new bees in a hive

[edwardromeril]

I followed that fine thank you but unfortunatly I bought my NUC which came with shorter frames - but thee quality of th4e goods was fine - What now please

[peacefulwarrior]

I've seen other videos where the beekeeper adds an inverted gallon of syrup to the top of the brood box to feed the bees.
Do you ever do this?

[nightshadehelis]

What do you do if you find the queen? You also mentioned that you leave the box outside in a spot where the flow hive will eventually be, for a day. What if it gets cold at night? Thanks for any help or insight. I just ordered my first hive: a flow hive 2! I also ordered my first nuc box with 3000 italian honey bees, which are coming this April. I'm so excited and a little nervous.

Do you every get stung or is it because your calm and the bees then stay calm
