All the hives have arrived

Well we picked up the remaining hives yesterday.  We drove out to Grantsville and waited for 2 hours to finally get the nucs.  We were a little concerned with the setup.  Things were pretty unorganized.  We got back and the other hives were flying so we decided to quickly transfer the frames to the new hives.  The first nuc we installed and we were pretty disappointed.  We didn't see any capped brood.  It was too cold to look for eggs, but we will next week when it warms up.  The second nuc was a little better.  It had 2 frames with capped brood.  Again we will check for eggs in a couple of days.  If I need to by nucs again, I would go with Apis Hives.  Chad is great and the nuc was very well established.
