I have a really strong colony that is doing well, and I don't want to distrupt the honey production that much. However, I'd like to make a split from it and as they are survivor stock, want another queen from them.
If I just take one frame of brood, that has eggs, along with the nurse bees, and then put it in a NUC with a two more frames of stores, and two drawn comb. Will that work?
That enough to make a split? I bet the nurse bees would then make their own queen - right?
