Looking Good. I wouldn't worry about finish this late in the season as bees are pretty sensitive to scent. It also looks like the nuc top bars are shorter than your top bar hive so, when you do the transfer, you'll probably have to screw this shorter ones under the longer top bars inside the hive. Good luck! Looking forward to updates. Reply to this

Late? We still have a foot of snow on the ground. I did linseed oil the outside and it's not stinky anymore.
The Nuc's dimensions are identical to the hives' except in length. It's like 11.5 inches vs. 46.5 inches.
Nice job! The bees should love them.
