There is plenty of room in a 5 frame nuc (I put one in yesterday) Mike Bush likes to start them in a nuc but I will say keep watch on them so they dont swarm, I may put mine in the Ohive
Wow I like that :thumbsup:

Update
I hope the packages you get in Wi are as NICE as the ones we got in Mi BEST LOOKING PACKAGES I EVER SAW !!!
We are picking up ours from Dadant in Mi tomorrow, first date was April 20, second date was first week in May now May 11th pick up now I know the weather has been bad in Ca (where the bees are coming...
I keep a cardboard nuc box in the truck but also keep a deep or 2 because I have gotten swarms that would not fit in one deep.
First one for 2013 about 4 pounds of bees they stoped @ "Subway" :popcorn:46303
I have had hives draw - fill - cap a med super in 2 weeks one of our club members had a hive draw fuill and cap a "bass wood" super in one (1) week so it depends on the strength of the hive and how...
Yep split or 2 or 3 remember if you dont split them they will.
When the home owner tells me they sprayed the bees I WALK AWAY salvageable? I don't know, time will tell.
Once a hive starts to requeen it some times will kill a new bought queen "ask me how I know"
I like a little rain on install day it keeps the bees from flying. A lot of folks are worried about the temp then spray them with water I can never understand that wet bees are cold bees.
Mabee in your part of the wourld but around here coons are a LOT worse than skunks I have traped as many as 22 coons in my bee yard and not one skunk and let me tell you bees are NOT in a good mood...
I have only seen bees in "pop" cans once and that was eairly spring before anything was blooming
the photos leave a lot to bee desired
I tell our class we will install rain or shine!!
I have held them for club members for 7 days after we picked them up from the supplier and who knows how long they were in the package before it got to the supplier (from Ca) we did feed them a...
The price looks good BUT remember as soon as you get then you need at the least 2 more boxes with frames.
Got another email and it shows the order corrected now to see what is on the "Brown Truck" next week.
When they send you an email conformation for an order CHECK IT I just found 3 mistakes on a 10 item order, called back and they said it would be fixed glad I checked.
You guys keep talking and I will have to "pop" for a roll of Gorilla tape and I B cheap. :lpf:
The queen may not be mated:s and other things enter into the pic. soooo many things that can go wrong.
The reason I say this is the dealer we get our packages from gets 1,800 packages on a load,...
