Hi, Question regarding nuc installation.
I will be picking up some nucs at 7:30pm. I will be picking them up 1 hour from the beeyard and can be to the beeyard ~8:30-9pm (given time for pickup etc)
I know evening is a great time to transfer nucs, so they are more inclined to settle for the night. Is 9-30pm installation too late at night? Pros cons?
My other option would be to take the nucs to the beeyard, place them in their general location, unscreen them, let them do their thing and wait until the next evening to install in 10 frame hives. This would also give the ladies time to settle after the drive?
I would love any and all thoughts, pls and ty,
Kevin
