Q: How do I get the nuc transferred properly from the ProNuc transport tote into my hive when I get to my apiary?
A: This is a fairly simple process that basically involves moving the frames, one by one, from the tote into you regular hive body and can be done as soon as you get your bees to their new location. As long as you are gentle and handle with care, there is no set waiting period necessary. Letting them settle a few minutes after a long rough ride is fine, but anything more than a half hour is not needed.
