Hello , I am in the process of building some overwinter nucs and will be adding the queen cells this coming thur.. I was wanting to locate all of them side by side {touching each other} and all facing one way in one yard rather than spreading them around as I have done b-4. there are a couple of reasons why I want to do it this way , one of course is to make it easy to inspect and to be able to keep my eye them , the other is that they are in individual 5 frame nucs and I wanted to wrap them on 4 sides {top,back and both sides} with plywood or some other insulating material to keep a little bit warmer. All nucs are painted in various patterns so I hoped that this would work with out loosing any bees to drifting. Has anyone out there ever done this in this manner or have any ideas for me in my quest to make things easier. Thank you
