60 mating nucs, MB, I have would like to know where do you get the energy? I am retired, an old fert I am, happy, however,,,I find energy is in short supply as I age. I maintain about 20 hives for pleasure, honey, old ideas resurfacing, and these (20) twenty mind you, hives wear me out. 60 mating nucs????? There is a lot of work, energy that is, at your place. I know of beekeepers with thousands of hives; I would be clueless as how to manage. MB, With your energy and programming skills, you should start a beecoin block chain. Lol Blessings
