There are many good reasons to start a new colony using a nucleus (nuc) colony, consisting of a mated queen, brood & drawn comb rather than buying a package of bees. But there are some issues to watch for. Today Kim & Jim discuss Nucs! @betterbee_hive honeybeeobscura.com/112

What is happening here? Our head #beekeeper, Anne, pressed her ear to an outer cover, then the side of a double nuc to check if the colony is alive. Her ear must've been wet! Have you had a dead-out and need bees? We've got you covered: bit.ly/3wpjl3h

This time of year, beekeepers start to consider their colonies and their queens. How'd the queens do last summer? How well did they come through the winter? On today's show, Kim and Jim consider their queens and what is important to them. @betterbee_hive honeybeeobscura.com/109

What an INCREDIBLE story! Moral of the story: save the bees because you never know when they may save you! reddit.com/r/Beekeeping/comm…
We could watch our bees store pollen all day long! The wide array of colors always amazes us, and it is so interesting to see how the spectrum of pollen colors change over the course of beekeeping season.
