When I first make up my nucs I make sure the frames have a good honey band on them. I don't feed at this time.
Once the queen is laying and a field force has been recruited I don't feed if there's any kind of flow on.
If the flow slows down I feed until winter or until I'm sure they can survive the winter. Their always in a ten frame deep by this time.
