Hi All,

Got a nice nuc about a month ago.  Nice bees.  The nuc was well populated with uncapped and capped brood, pollen and honey.  Put a nuc castle on top to give them room to grow.  Well they have all but ignored the castle.  Hardly any comb building (crimp wired foundation).  Hive continues to look good.  Any thoughts on getting them to expand?  Thoughts on putting the castle on the bottom?  Is this a non-issue?

Regards,

Ed
I know it is going to be a good day when I get up in the morning look back in the bed and I am not in it!

The best part of having grandbrats is I now have people my own age to play with.

Ed, our flow has all but stopped for now so you'll most likely need to feed. Things should pick back up a little next month with spanish needle. We don't have much in the way of brazillian pepper, but after that our goldenrod flow is strong and long.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
