Step By Step: 1  As soon as you get the NUC to your apiary, place in its permanent location with the entrance at the same place as the entrance to the hive will be. 2  Remove the block to the NUC entrance and wait at least 24 hours. The bees will orient to the new location. Move the NUC to the side of the hive location and replace it with the empty nest box. Gently smoke the entrance to the NUC. Remove the top of the nuc and spritz the bees with a light sugar syrup.
As such, nucs may hold 3-5 frames compared to the 8-10 frames typically held by a full size colony. A second type of nuc, commonly called a âbaby nucâ or âqueen mating nucâ, exists but is smaller than full-size colonies in every dimension and is used primarily for queen bee production.Queen mating nucs will not be discussed in this document.) Creating nucs is a good way to alleviate swarming tendencies in crowded colonies .Taking bees and brood from a colony to create a nuc is, in essence, a controlled swarm. The creation of nucs four to six weeks before the primary nectar flow alleviates the stress of growing colony populations in crowded colonies.
