I bought two new nucs last July. The winter was long and harsh with snow, hail and rain lasting until May. The bees were unable to build up, now the queens have gone. The first super is untouched. I discovered a couple of decent sized queen cells in one and I offered a queen cell from that hive to the other today. Absolutely disappointed so far.
Have I done the right thing? Or should I unite the two?
Any practical advice welcomed!
