GREAT video. I have 2 things I wish you had included in this video: 1) It wasn't said in the video, but you want to transport the Nuc INSIDE your car, where the AC can get to it. Do NOT put them in the trunk of your car. Along with that, having a "hive net" to put your Nuc box inside of will keep bees from flying around inside the car with you on your drive home. 2) Please put a link to the other video you mentioned about feeders in the description of this video.
When you pick up the nucs from the bee seller, do they close off the entrances for you typically>? Does everyone do this the same? What would you check when picking them up for a seller to make sure you don't have an accident on the way home, and before you leave the seller's location? I haven't really seen anywhere stating that all sellers will do it the same way. And is it a problem for a new transferred hive to have everything foundationless? (Is this a disadvantage from starting up after travel etc?)
Yes, they are typically closed. BUT the openings are sometimes loose and will come open. Having a "hive net" to enclose your Nuc box while transporting is a good idea.
