4th swarm of 2011

What happened Scott? Cut the wrong branch? 

Question on screened nucs. Some people are reporting that nucs, solid bottoms, help build up faster because it's warmer.
Have you seen any differences in building up with solid or screened?
But then you're in FL, it might not make a difference.

I use the screened bottom nucs for catching swarms and transporting them. The screen gives them plenty of ventilation in our hot weather. I moved this swarm the next morning out to a bee yard and placed it on a 4 way pallet.
