I’ve been pondering for a while the best way to vaporise my Nucs. Thought about vaping from the top via an eke but my vaping wand is a bit unstable.
Thought I’d share the design hubby has come up with. For the BE equipment 2x3 frame or 6 frame Nuc. Also same footprint for Maisemore. The cut outs in the ply are for the feet of the Nuc to sit in & the wand is now very stable. Need to have a dummy run below an empty Nuc first! Thought I’d share, I’m sure some of you will have similar designs but this might help someone, maybe a relative beginner wondering what to do. Think vaping a smaller dose of oxalic is better than trickling at this time of year.
Has been v cold here last couple of weeks and a couple of frosts, snow on the hills last night - see pic of the garden, so think next week will be the perfect time to give each colony & Nucs a vap.
