    I've seen the article. The nuc has been robbed out, no queen, no stores (I'd given them a full frame), no brood, it's combine time.

    Well the first month were far from a get out of jail free card, but courtesy of drought, robbing, almost no comb for the mites to hide in, and imminent starvation causing the queen not to lay for awhile, my powdered sugar may have held them off. Even though I did it wrong. I didn't just dust it on top, I painted the bees on the frames with a soft cooking paintbrush dipped in the dry sugar. For now, I have more problems with robbing, a swarm cell on the main hive. I think my little swarm catch nuc got robbed yesterday, they held their own, but they are hurt, fewer bees, not acting normal. Figuring out what to do.
