The bees in the nuc (Tower Place) are doing well. Yesterday I opened the hive. I didn’t do a deep inspection – I just wanted to see if they were occupying the frames in the deep and that the queen was laying.

She was and they were already using the box above (no surprise, given that they are in five frame boxes!)

Here they are all peeking out at me in the hive drape opening.

I added another box and closed the hive up. I’ll check again on Sunday. I’m a little worried about this nuc box tower, as you can tell, but it feels like a fun experiment.

Somewhat Leaning Tower of Pisa, it is up and going and we’ll see what the future brings.
