I've studied bees for decades I've been a beek for about 5-6 years now. Hi, y'all. Two new hives this year, in the dearth that is Texas down here right now.

I was assuming a laying queen in the nuke.

The amount of protein in the hive has a direct effect on that.

Interesting, I'll try this on next week's inspection.

I would think the pheromones from the new queen, the brood, and the nurse bees would win the returning foragers over quickly.
