Hemp seeds, or hemp hearts, are the seeds of the hemp plant, or Cannabis sativa. Although marijuana comes from the same plant, hemp seeds only contain a trace amount of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, and they will not get you high. 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. Hemp seed oil, or hemp oil, is made by pressing hemp seeds.
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.
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.
