Set up a two nuc hive with lots of nurse bees about 10 days ago that had lots of capped brood. Those have mostly emerged and moved a half sized frame into the hive this evening with freshly hatched larva. These started hatching yesterday and this afternoon I culled all the larger brood (140+ of them). Then did cell notches on several of them. Was planning to do grafting, but just feel comfortable with doing it. Need lots of practice.
Then moved a frame with capped brood to eggs on it into a queenless hive. Notched several of these as well.
Now I must keep from messing with them for a few days and I will see if we have success.
How long before I can check on them?
