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.
If you are starting with a package of bees, then you should be happy if the bees only produce enough honey for themselves. This is good and par for the course. However, I always work my packages to produce honey for me my first year, and most do. My success comes from placing my packaged hives on drawn comb. In my opinion drawn comb is the beekeeper's third best friend! The hive tool is first, and a bee-vac is second. We now have one of our bee-vacs listed in our Ebay auctions. Obviously, a new package or nuc will have to build up their hive. This means they will need to produce a huge amount of new comb on the frames.
