GREAT video. I have 2 things I wish you had included in this video: 1) It wasn't said in the video, but you want to transport the Nuc INSIDE your car, where the AC can get to it. Do NOT put them in the trunk of your car. Along with that, having a "hive net" to put your Nuc box inside of will keep bees from flying around inside the car with you on your drive home. 2) Please put a link to the other video you mentioned about feeders in the description of this video.
When you pick up the nucs from the bee seller, do they close off the entrances for you typically>? Does everyone do this the same? What would you check when picking them up for a seller to make sure you don't have an accident on the way home, and before you leave the seller's location? I haven't really seen anywhere stating that all sellers will do it the same way. And is it a problem for a new transferred hive to have everything foundationless? (Is this a disadvantage from starting up after travel etc?)
Yes, they are typically closed. BUT the openings are sometimes loose and will come open. Having a "hive net" to enclose your Nuc box while transporting is a good idea.
I really wish you would have used a lapel mic within the suit. It began becoming too difficult to understand what you were saying halfway through the video

I am so glad I found this channel. I want to learn about bees.
I pick up my bee from yall on Saturday. I am so excited.
Outstanding. Like the nice new Texas Bee Supply jacket. Well done.
Excellent video. You are a very good instructor. Thank you very much!
New beekeeper here... great video! Getting my nuc today, I've looked at so many of these, yours is the best so far! Thank YOU!! :)
I have really been learning a bunch from the videos. Keep up the good work.
Excellent, answered my questions. Thank you
Great video, very informative.
9:06 crunch crunch... i felt bad for those poor guys getting smashed. Isnt that what the bee sweepers are for, to coax them into the hive ?
Great video..perfect!!!
We got to get you guys a wind block for your mic
Is it necessarily leave the nuc for 24 hours before transfer to the hive same location?
Entrance reducer is a must!! If your bees get robbed out u will buy more to replace!?

They got to be closed before you go and pick it up.

What type of feeder can you use with a layens hive?
How long should I feed them?
I forgot to remove my entrance reducer after transferring nuc, left with big entrance open. Problem ?

Great video but you need to buy a much better microphone. The wind ruins all your good work. Thanks for the information.
You didn't reply to any comments 😒🤔🤔
