It is hot out there! I manage to sneak in a few hours during the cooler part of morning to
waterproof paint my nuc boxes and thin cardboard covers. They are now fully assembled. All I need to
do is to make the bottom entrance for these nuc boxes out of the fence board. For the nuc hive covers I bought the 3" cedar fence boards and then cut them
out to assemble with the fence screws. I plan to cut thick foam boards to insulate the inside since it is rather hot and cold in our seasons. With a 3" height cover, putting sugar
bricks and patty subs should not be an issue.
Hopefully within the next 2 days it will be done with the entire hive assembly. And then make up the mating nucs ready for the queens from my homemade small
fridge incubator.
