I made some makeshift entrances for my hive frmo blocks of 2*4 lumber. I attached an old garden hose to the end and I now have 4 NUCS in my garage. The entire system is far from perfect. I have about 100 bees roaming freely in my garage. They have been there for 3 days now. I went thru again today and think I have sealed up all the little holes with duct tape that needed to be sealed.
Far from a perfect system. I figured I will take my electric heater in the spring time to hyper activate them and get them working early to build up nice strong colonies for the first of April. It would be pretty cool to make splits with them by that time. Well time will tell how successful all this is going to be. I wil of course have to feed them countinously throughout the winter months. Not a biggie. I have already considered this.
I just hope the 100 or so that is in the garage die off quick before they cover everything in bee poop.
Here are the pics.....
This picture is the outside of my garage where they come and go.
