less than 24 hours had to moove to hive. went home for lunch and had bees hanging everywhere. i set the nuc on the open hive with some frams out and when i took lid off the nuc most of the bees fell in the hive. the nuc was still very full of bees, as i mooved the rest of the frams they had new comb started (very nice). i think they didn't have enough room and were geting too hot. box and frams was 12 pounds, box with frams and bees 22 pounds. so nuc was way way too small. so far they seem happy in bigger hive.
