I have a research project for which I need newly emerged bees. My idea was to start a nuc with a new queen, built out foundation, and shake some bees in there. Queen should fill up a frame if I have enough bees in it. Once the frame is capped, pull it about 3 days before they should emerge and put it into another two frame nuc with the entrance screened off and let them emerge in there. Good idea or bad? Got any simpler ideas.
