A quick task in a bee yard can sometimes turn into hours especially if someone forgets to put things as they should be. We all do this but my dad is famous for putting boxes on with no frames, not enough frames, the wrong size frames.... It makes things interesting to say the least. Under normal circumstances he usually catches them before they get this far along. I do this myself occasionally and I sometimes enjoy the challenge that comes with the mini cut out. On this day however, I was running short on time and could only do a partial box cleanup and not even a good one at that. The final cleanup/cut out was done the following week and may be shown in an upcoming video.
All this footage is from April 2016. Dad is doing much better but still looking toward some surgeries and can't do what he used to. He is still in his bee yard almost daily though.
The cardboard nuc boxes shown here are a pretty good affordable option to prepare nucs for sale or transport. Cardboard nucs are, of course, not designed for long term use. You'll see some of the problems with them and why you should get your bees out of them and into a hard nuc or more permanent full size Langstroth box in fairly short order.
Our quick look at the Flow frame is not in any way an endorsement of Flow hives of Flow frames. It was just an opportunity to handle one of these new to the industry inventions. This was a the second time I'd seen them but I've never tried them out. One of my TH-cam friends Artisan Tony had some Flow frames this past season. Apparently they don't fit a standard Langstroth box and Tony made some modifications. His video is linked below.
