I need to make some nucs, and I need to do it rather soon.  I have several deeps around that I thought I could turn into two nuc set ups.  Any ideas on how to do these?  I would be using solid bottom boards that I no longer use and would build a migratory top.  I would rather avoid the experimentation if someone else has an easy way to do this that they find effective. I really appreciate the help.

...one of the photos in the slideshow at http://kirkwebster.com/ shows his feeders (which are also dividers) and matching bottom boards.

Cut a 1/4 inch piece of plywood the length of the inside of the hive and from the top of the box to the bottom board.  Place it between the 2 center frames.  Placing a small entrance reducer so as to block the center, moving the entrances towards the sides will help with drifting.
