Is a poly nuc any use as a bait hive? I have one which has over wintered my bees and is nicely stained with pollen etc, but wasn't sure if the scout bees would find the tiny entrance hole and open floor along with the reduced brood size a problem? Bare in mind it is a 14x12 poly nuc so a fair bit larger than a national nuc. I also have a brand new full size 14x12 wooden hive but it has no bee smells. Which would you say is the better bait hive?
