How long do you think someone should leave a hive queenless when you are going to do a newspaper combine? I am going to move the queen I do believe is failing (turning into a drone layer) into a nuc. I want to make sure she really is failing without jeopardizing a fairly strong hive. And then I want to combine with a strong nuc I have recently moved into a 10 frame deep. In the process i'm going to cull some of the really old comb in the hive i'm combining with nuc. So, how long should I wait to combine after moving the would be failing queen into a nuc? Thanks, Jay
