I bought two of the Shamrock "S" Universal Mating Boxes.
Pollination, Queen rearing, and Honey production.
The July issue of the ABJ has an advertisement on page 706 with photos.
www.Shamrock-S.com
I would like to know how other beekeepers are reporting their use of this product and an evaluation.
Please make comments.
Thanks,
Ernie

I compacted the nuc by moving a frame of bees next to the others, sliding in the divider and shaking bees off the other frame. I opened the entrance to the nuc that is next to the queen right nuc so they can find their way around to their entrance.
The mini cage fell to the floor over night, the bees were being very attentive to the cage so I removed the cork and let her walk out into the bees clustered on the frames.
The bees consumed about 1 & 1/4" of syrup over night.
I placed a shade board on the box for their comfort.
