Requeening an established hive and making a nucleus hive with the old queen. I had already taken several frames of brood for other nucleus hives previously and this hive was already pretty weak, but it was still good enough for a demonstration video.

  • what is the white box that you're using for deeps? 

  • @wealthofnations4RP It's a one piece white plastic deep box, made by Bees Forever Plastics. I think it's the same material milk crates are made out of. They are virtually indestructible unless you run over them. The sun doesn't make them brittle. They don't rot. They never need painted. Ants don't eat them. Less weight than wood boxes.

  • Do you rear new queens from the old queen or just have her build up the nuc colony?

  • @magprob This queen is just used to populate the nuc. I raise queens from my strongest overwintered hives.
