Two nucs on the same site...

[tomtomhitter]

Hi all,

Over the next couple of weeks I will be receiving my first two nucs.
They will be rehived onto the same site. I understand that I need to leave my nucs in the hive spots for a few days before moving into hives.
Should I leave a couple of days between moving each nuc into its hive to prevent drifting etc, or could both nucs be moved into their hives on the same day?

Thanks,
Tomq

Both on same day.
Why worry about drifting?
They are all your bees so will be in your hives not someone elses.

Ah yes. I should have said - each nuc is from a different source.
However, both local to me and to each other: circa 5 miles radius.

Just do it. They soon learn where home is i.e. Which colony Is theirs, especially if you have left some work space round each box
