Two New Nucs

Today I picked up two new nucs from Overland Apiaries to replace two colonies that were moused out over the winter. I had the timing perfect - pick-up, parking, water taxi, truck waiting at the dock on the Island. The one flaw in my plan - the water taxi captain was very allergic to bees and was pretty concerned. Managed to sort it out - he stayed closed up in the cabin and I kept watch on the nucs.

Got the two nucs in place just as the rain started, so will install them tomorrow.
