If you had a choice as to over-wintering a standard 10 frame deep hive, or a five frame nuc stacked two high, which would you prefer? Taking into account feeding ease, strength, and all else being the same.
Would there be an advantage of combining two nucs into a deep or just stacking the two nucs on top of each other? Assuming one queen was going to be used for another hive, thus leaving one.
And taking into account feeding and other tangibles, would anything else help or hurt one way over the other?
Thank you.
