as swarm swarmed, now in nuc

[irishguy]

One of my hives we done an as with but a day later the queen swarmed from the new hive box. I was lucky enough to find her in a ball of bees in the garden then stuck her in anuc box with 4 empty frames. This was near 4 weeks ago and she's laying again but doesn't have much room to lay because looking at the rare of cell growth, it isn't that fast. Is there anything I can do to speed this up. I have already feed them but don't know if I should still be doing this.

Is the feed you are feeding being put in the drawn cells?
They need more bees. Can you find HALF a frame of emerging brood to donate , that will give more bees and drawn comb. Some extra nurse bees shaken in too.

what size nuc have you used ?

How many bees are in the nuc ?

Were they the forager bees from the original colony ?

The pollen that she eats is rich in protein and helps her salivary, brood food glands to become active, so that by the fifth day they can secrete the brood food or royal jelly which is fed to the younger larvae. After ten or twelve days these glands cease to function effectively but wax glands on the underside of her abdomen begin to secrete wax which the worker uses for comb-building and repair. By this time she is also beginning to leave the hive for short flights during which she learns the position of the hive and the topography of the surroundings.
