Nucs Installed

Picked up and installed a nuc of bees last Saturday from Mark Chorba in Check. Five brimming full frames. Brood, honey, pollen - everything was in great shape. As of today, it is our most active hive of the three that we have. Had to put a second brood box on top and they are filling that one up fairly quickly.

The main hive (going into the third year) has really picked up as well. Brood pattern now on six of the ten frames.

The new packaged bees are also active and producing brood and taking in pollen.

All three hives are sucking down the sugar-water at a pint per day.
