Going through my nuc yard, I found one of the old queens I held back into a nuc went missing leaving it queenless - It's still heavy with bees and stores and has some capped brood. The frame I pulled for them out of a strong nuc was old brood comb. I used a hive tool to deeply break down the lower edge of cells with very young larvae in 3 spaces. Think that'll give them enough room to work up a few good Q cells? I'm trying to figure out if I should go with that or just break them up and boost some other nucs...
