Nucs, or nucleus colonies, are small honey bee colonies created from larger colonies. The term refers both to the smaller size box and the colony of honeybees within it. The name is derived from the fact that a nuc hive is centered on a queen, the nucleus of the honey beecolony.
It was a quick install of two of them because I was trying to get to a soccer game. It's about 75° and a little bit breezy but a perfect day to install. Wasn't expecting them until tomorrow but with honeybees you never know when they come in and you have to be ready.
