I have two hives. The more successful of the two drew out two supers in about 45 days. I added a third super two weeks ago. Went out today and found them packed in the two lower supers and one capped queen cell. I inspected 7 days ago and saw the cup and thought it was empty but now it's capped. With two to three weeks left in this flow, should I pull that frame with the queen cell and put it in a five frame nuc? Or should I borrow four frames of brood and pollen/honey from my other hives and put them in an 8 frame medium box? I don't feel either hive is strong enough to split, but both could contribute to the cause. But then again that's why I'm here looking for input.
