If someone had told me that my overwintered nuc (2 five frame boxes) would turn into this,
I never would have believed it. The nuc was transfered into the single beige hive you
see in the 1st photo about April 2nd. This hive today is in 3 deeps and 3 supers. It is
LOADED with bees and honey. I think I got some great bees here. I got at least a hundred
pounds surplus or more. By the way, last year this nuc was started from 3 shallow frames with a swarm cell.
BEELIEVE IT OR NOT! :)
By the way, I have 1 hive that has not done so well and another that I had to reduce to a nuc.
3 BOOMERS and 2 DUDS overwintered.
