So I have a nuc that has been struggling. The nuc is about a month old. I attempted to have them raise an emergency queen. 30 days in they are struggling. I see no evidence of a laying queen. They have one beautiful queen cell and several that have been torn down. No eggs, but there is larva and spotty drone brood on one frame. Numbers are very low, likely less than 3000. My questions are: 1) Will they attempt to raise a queen larva from a laying worker, and 2) Should I give them brood frames from a production hive and more eggs?
