how long should i keep bees in nuc before puting them in a brood hive?

 

[Brent Bean]

When they start to get crowded, or have four of the five frames occupied.

Usually if you buy a nuc they should be ready to be transferred immediately.

When I buy a nuc they are ready for transfer. The guys I buy them from let them go thru 2 brood cycles before they will transfer/sell them. When I do splits I do like Brent says before transfer.
