HI
I have one very big colony that I think I need to split. They are in a national hive that I would like to run without using a super for brood. I can get a mated queen this Thursday, so should I put three brood frames into a nuc or should I put the three frames into a hive a take another couple from other hives? Or should I just leave them alone?
If I put them into a nuc can I over winter them or will I need to move them on to a hive?
