I am sure my question is addressed somewhere else, but I can not find a specific answer so here it goes
I made up 4 nuc's yesterday, taking 3 frames of bees, brood, eggs, etc and placing them into a nuc box with 2 frames of drawn comb. I didn't want to mess with moving them 3 miles so I just sealed them up, put a feeder on top and plan on opening up the nuc's in a few days
Anyone see issues with this? How long should I let them think about thing's before letting them go? I was think 3 day's.
