I am back in the pack now. ;D I received my nuc today and they were full of bees. It was in the mid 70's here today and when I opened the hive entrance the bees were boiling out to orient. I lost my hive early in the winter and have been driving my family crazy watching videos. Nothing like the real thing ;D

Hope you got 2 or more. One is just too hard to get through a year by itself. 2 make things go a lot smoother.

Nothing like being in the game instead of watching others play cards.  ;)
Congrats and good luck.

It will be a good comparison on how the different in build up between the nuc and a package.

I didn't have a recent picture other than bee butts hanging out of frames, so I went with Bruce. :laugh:
