Location is everything. Bees also like small spaces. I have heard the 5 frame deep nuc is the perfect size for a natural hive as far as volume goes. I have also seen people who use only 5 frame nucs and stack them for honey production. It is rare, but there are people who do it. Can't do it here, or they would blow over.

Moved my surviving hive from farm/scrub land 15 mi. south of Deming to my backyard. Man, what a difference the location makes. Hive is the most active I've seen it, with lots of white/light-yellow pollen coming in from all the trees here in town. Also, since it was only about 2-3 frames of bees, I moved them into a 5-frame nuc box, where I think they will do better, esp. when it gets chilly this weekend.

Any of you guys going to Leo Varela's bee club meeting on Saturday? I was supposed to go help him, but I can't because other issues came up.

I created a White House petition asking the administration to direct the EPA to do a comprehensive, well-funded third-party study of the effect of agricultural chemicals on honeybees. Please sign...only need 99,999 signatures by March 9!

Their numbers are artificially induced to be high, and the use strains with fast brood up, like Carnies. The pollinators are all about pollination and bees are secondary.
