Hi Daniela, are you a member of the Hunter Valley Amateur Beekeepers? They have strong ties to the Andersons and received one of the very first protoypes. Would be a good group for you to hook up with. ---

Hi there. I had been looking at joining the HV group but felt the travel is just a little bit far from where I live. Now that I know they have the flow hive also may be worth it. Thanks much. Dan. ---

Awesome, installing your Nuc is fascinating. I have had mine in for about 6 weeks now and about to fit the super. Exciting times! ---

I just got the Nuc Installed Saturday. Already I see SHB. Am trying out the chux wipe method to catch them. So y have that problem there also ? ---

Hi Daniela, That’s pretty normal from what I understand. I am using a method similar to the chux and check the board almost every day - sometimes I get none, sometimes I get 10-15. ---

I get about 6 a day and mostly in chux. Today a big hairy grey spider went into The brood box am going to remove it now but hopefully the bees do their job. Last week we had a small frog under the table. Never ending uninvited guests otherwise the bees are happy and working.
