Hi.
I am new to beekeeping (I don't have bees yet) and came across this site as I am researching how I am going to transfer the nuc (which will arrive on standard national frames) into my 14x12 brood box.
I have a beehaus, so putting a 14x12 on top of the brood box is not an option.
Am thinking about the Burnett Extension? Can you fit these extensions when moving the nuc frames into the new brood box? Sounds like a recipe for disaster and that I will lose all my bees before I get them into their home.
Any other ideas?
Thanks for your help.
