Laurence Edwards inspects a bee nuc colony so densely packed with bees it might overheat in a car. The population is unusually strong, and without proper airflow during transport, the bees could struggle to cool themselves.

At this point, I just want to show you inside the nuc. Like, the amount of bees in here, it is crazy. And it was a very, very strong nuc. We always send out our nucs quite strong, maybe a little bit too strong in this instance. There's a huge amount of bees in this nuc, and asking them to keep themselves cool in the back of a car journey with so much stores is maybe asking a little bit too much of them.
