Nucs are little started colonies of bees, 5 frames in a box. It ended up being a wild 2+ hour return hour journey, as the new boxes didn't actually seal well, and, as it turns out, Donna's car trunk is not bee proof! We stopped once to use cloth grocery bags to stuff up the tiny bee-sized gaps around the back seat, and once to beg trash bags from a gas station attendant to try to wrap up the leaky boxes. Neither attempt worked too well, so mostly we drove home with a lot of bees in the car. Fortunately, there were very calm and mellow bees and we actually had no problems. The picture shows what the trunk looked like when we got to the farm!</p><p class='bloggerplus_image_section'><div class='bloggerplus_image_section' align='left' ><img src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrg_Dhle9HBFeBSu1gZPjmkCTXe_somCKDIXvGx1MQ9MMGL1kOD31nRTaJW3Y2FbD7NTHFcKeD0qQScJ5Gi_mc30HUDUs_AOxE0JDAc-4GOVFPWVDTDyoPUmgXiJtVokGHJT3X/' ></img></div></p><p class='bloggerplus_text_section' align='left'>The first nuc we installed at a friend's farm outside Woodward.
