Got the bee bug, bad this time. What started as an idea of just 2 hives as a hobby has blossomed into a sideliner Nuc business, well, we'll see after winter.
Had a hive for bout 5 yrs, 2 decades before, but I see it's a whole new world now! After getting 2 local, overwinterd Nucs, 2 packages, 2 more Nucs, then 2 more Nucs, & several different queens from different sources for their genetics, I've got 31 hives ( lots of splitting ). Was inspired by the Mike Palmer double Nuc method and plan to have local Nucs for sale next spring. Barely keeping ahead of the bee's with putting equipment together. Found the outyard, thumbs UP, lead me here.
