Apidea mating nuc

[MJBee]

Some pictures - comments to follow if I can download them
1. Frame assembled
2. Frames fitted, gaps in the end of the top bars fit between lugs on the poly body. Ventilation grid at front, Qx covering entrance to feed container.
3. Plastic top cover on showing (covered) hole for queen introduction.
4. Entrance open Queen free to fly and mate.
5. Entrance covered by QX to contain queen once eggs are found.

Hope that helps and makes sense Polyanwood. Mike

Super helpful...the drawing pin trick was a surprise! i had done the frame like thta, but thought they would not be such a tight fit.

Thanks
