In fact, hemp seeds are safe and very healthy to eat. Hemp is actually one of the most widely utilized and diverse industrial crops in the world. Its fibers are considered the longest and most durable of all natural fibers, and it can even be grown without deadly herbicides and pesticides.

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 bee colony.
Bee biology: How it helps us make nucs â¢ Nurse bees/young bees are not aggressive and are loyal to the queen â¢ Nurse bees have a specific area on a brood frame that they tend to â¢ Young nurse bees prefer nectar over honey â¢ Bees have a natural tendency to swarm in the spring â¢ Queen cells can make excellent queens â¢ Workers from different colonies do not fight when moved into a new box together. You may take nurse or worker bees from separate colonies and put them together in a new box. Nurse bees added to a colony or nuc by shaking will adapt to their new conditions.
