This past Friday was a busy work day. We have the best workers ever. However they made a huge disaster of the front yard. I think they used every nook and cranny of the entire front yard. We are all finished selling nucs. Nucs are starter hives. We sell starter hives in the spring to those wanting to get started into keeping bees. That season is done. Now for the cleanup and preparation of storing these boxes until next year. Nuc boxes are like a mini hive. This is where the honeybees stay waiting to be placed into their new home. However, when the honeybees are started in these nucs, they start working and drawing out the wax foundations, thus drawn out combs. We reuse these combs. Now every nuc box needs to be torn apart and pull the drawn out combs out of the nuc boxes so that they will not be destroyed by wax moths. We will take the drawn out combs and put them in honey supers, (recycling). The bees love this, they only have to work half as hard, if the combs are already drawn out.
