I've got some hives that came through the winter very strong (6-8 frames of bees). Some are either queenless, or have an unmated queen that's laying drones.
I can get queens in approximately two weeks from a supplier here.
I also have four frame nucs that I could combine with the queen problem hives.
Problem is, if I combine, then I have to take the winter packaging off since it would be two stories. Or, I could put the four frames of the nuc with the queen into the queen problem hive.
Do I sacrifice my nucs, or do I wait for queens?
Thanks,
JH
