Got tired of white decided to paint yellow wanted green but couldn't find a light enough green
Mtnman,
Those look great. Great job, those look like furniture compared to mine, so don't sell yourself short. One quick question? I have been putting a small entrance at the bottom as well as the little 7/8" hole towards the top. I just figured that was needed for ventilation etc. What do you think? I am in an area where we have such dry air that the temp can fluctuate quite a bit between day and nite, so maybe that is why the nucs I have seen around here have a top and bottom entrance. I would be curious to get others imput as well.
Those things look great though!!!
F
These have screened bottoms which can be closed if need but no colder than it get here in the winter I should be able to leave them open.
And to answer you question about the extra hole in the bottom when in Rome do as the Romans. :-D
they look great
Good job on those nucs mtman

I build my queen nucs with a 1/2" entrance hole at the bottom and a 3/4" screened vent hole at the top. I find it really helps in preventing robbing. The screened vent hole lures the robbers away from the real entrance.
I like 'em.
