I'd like to move a colony to a new location and I'd like to know can I put them into a new brood box so I can take away my old one? Or would it be best to leave them for a day in their current hive to acclimatise?
 
let them settle for a few days,then change.whats wrong with the old one?
 
if you dont let them settle how will the bees know where they are.new location,new box,you could end up with them up a tree.....
i take it you are going to overwinter the nuc,always a bit of a challange.
good luck.
