Jumpstart a nuc

[kmartin]

Looking for feedback.

I purchased a nuc last Sat. 5 frame medium. It had some (not alot) of open and capped brood. The frames were small cell foundation or small cell starter strips. On Sun, the next day, I took a frame of capped brood (large cell foundation from my existing hive), brushed the bees off and put it in the nuc.

Have not opened it since. Nuc appears to be doing well from the outside, any downsides on what I've done?

No. But if you want sc bees, you shouldn't leave the frame in any longer than it takes for the brood to hatch out:) .

That's the plan....thanks
