A beekeeper checks hives across multiple locations and finds a mating nuc completely dead, a strong 14 × 12 nuc thriving, and another colony damaged by mice. His equipment battery dies mid-inspection, but he thinks the mouse-damaged hive might still recover.
Not ideal doing that this time of the year. All the bees are dead in this mini mating nuc. Wow, take a look at that. That's a— it's a really nice strong nuc. That's actually a 14 by 12 nuc. Got to go to the next apiary and the battery is dead. I had a little bit of a panic going into this one here. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Look at this thing. But it's like, I don't know, never seen that before. Right, so that, that's a colony that's just lost its battle. Oh, this is salvageable. This honestly is. It's not set up. Definite mouse damage. Oh, wow. Oh!
