Gosh I sure missed chatting with you guys on here. Honestly, the days that I get to plan, film, and edit are the days that fill my cup up so much. :) Annnyyyway, for all of the new beekeepers and....there is even some info in here for more experienced beekeepers! I hope this video helps give some light to the grand debate of should you start a hive with a 5 frame nucleus colony? A 3 pound package? How about a 10 frame deep? Each option has different pros and cons for each beekeeper and experience level sooo I hope this helps! And if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask!! Oh ANNNNND I live in Michigan so anything I say here could be different for states down south! If it is...let me know! I'd love to hear your opinion and experiences on the topic too! And finally...we have a few nucs left! So go to the link below if you wan to pick up a BeeFit nuc this spring!! Okay byyyye :)
Go to beefitbeekeeping.com to pre-order 2024 spring nucs!
