I got a nuc off of a guy a month or so ago that was in a deep and I run all mediums they have filled the deep and the queen has just started laying in a medium I put on top it has eggs but no larva I wanted to go ahead and split her while she was in the top box because I'm racing the clock in my area for splits so I moved it with the queen to a new bottom board and shook in a few frames of nurse bees so now I have a deep with lots of everything it needs to make a new queen and a medium that is essentially a package since it has no capped brood. I did switch the hive locations so some of the forragers will start bringing back stores as it was light on pollen but had plenty of nectar and some capped honey. I checked on them about 30 min later and the confusion seemed to settle down and I saw forragers returning and entering the new hive.
So that is what I did my question was did I rush this or do you think it will be ok?
