I'll be honest, I'm getting worried. I have read a lot of threads about people worried about the cold temps where they live. 50s at day and low 40s at night. I live in the higher elevations south of buffalo ny, I still have snow on the ground and it keeps snowing. This will be my first venture into beekeeping. My hives are ready but I'm worried about my nuc coming in later this month. With current temps 20s and 30s I have a few questions
Should I transfer my nucs to the full size brood boxes or leave them in the nuc boxs?
Does sugar water freeze faster than regular water?
How long can they stay in a nuc box?
I would really hate to fail before I get started . Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thx
