Since I have the option of doing this for the first time rather than just splitting the colony as I've done in the past because now I actually have some marked queens that I can find, is there an "optimal" combination of open/sealed brood, bees, food and drawn comb that I should aim for when making up a five-frame nuc for her, to keep in the same apiary?
