NUC Installation Instructions Please Read!

  1. When you arrive home, place the NUC on top or beside the hive you intend to install the bees into.
  2. Remove bungees from front screen door - let the door drop to the ground.
  3. Next day (or if it is raining wait until the weather is better) remove 5 frames from the center of the new hive you are installing the NUC into. Lightly smoke the NUC. Remove one of the outside frames first (it should have less bees on it). This will give room to slide frames over and not roll bees when removing them from the NUC. Install frames into the new hive in the same order you removed them from the NUC. You will have a total of ten frames in your new hive.
  4. Check for queen cells while you are installing bees. If you find any cells be sure to remove them.
  5. Start feeding sugar water now!!
    • 1 gallon of hot water mixed with 5 lbs. of sugar; let it cool; then give to bees.
  6. Return my equipment to me in 7 days.
    • NUC box
