One of our hives swarmed (not sure why, only one had a QC and the old queen had been taken out). We managed to catch it and put it into a poly nuc, but without frames for now.
What should we do next? I imagine it's a case of either putting them back into their original hive, once it's been checked over for other QCs or adding frames to the nuc and allowing them to establish in there. If we go for the nuc then they'll have no stores so would it be worth putting a feed on?
