I read a Beesource thread yesterday about a cheap and easy way to construct 5-frame medium nucs, so an afternoon and $26 later I have 12 medium nucs. What I'm going to do with them, I don't know just yet. IF someone tells me about a swarm, I'm ready. Well, not really, due to the fact that I would definitely have to catch the queen with the swarm, as I have no brood to spare, much less a spare queen ready to go. Building the nucs was partly about trying my hand at constructing the equipment anyway. And I'm happy with the price and the quality. I do have a couple of "store-bought" nucs on order, so I'll compare them, and maybe modify my work next time if needed.
Bring on the swarms! Is it too late in the season to try to lure some swarms?
