New Nucs - Memorial Day 2008

Today I added two new nucs - Carniolans from Abenaki Apiary in Skowhegan. Spent the entire drive down to Portland looking in my rear view mirror expecting bees to pour out of the nucs, but made it safely down and out to Cushings in my boat rather than on the ferry. Placed the nucs on top of two new hives set up in the Farm Hill bee yard, smoked and opened them up. Bees came out somewhat tentatively at first but checking back later both nucs were active.
