I had put a Queen with two frames of honey, a frame of brood, and two empty frames, along with two shakes of bees in a nuc to hold her while I grafted queens into the main hive. Two days later, I was going to put her back below an excluder but she’s gone!! The laying queen along with all the bees up and left! The nuc box has been previously used, all frames were drawn, they had food... I can’t figure out why she would have left. The holding nuc was next to a few other nucs, not sure of that matters.
Any ideas!? I’m so bummed to have lost the queen, she was a good one! I should have told her it was only temporary 😞
